Judith Ann Sullivan was born November 17, 1940 in St. Paul, Minnesota, a daughter of Thomas E. and Marjorie (Perusse) Sullivan.

She was united in marriage to Thomas J. Kerkhoven, September 9, 1961 in Roseville, Minnesota. They have been blessed with over 56-years of marriage.

Judy worked for the State of Minnesota after graduating high school; she had also been a sales representative for Sterling Health, an assistant teacher for Quad City Montessori; although Judy’s greatest title was being a loving wife, mom and grandma.

She was an early supporter of Birthright and member of the Catholic Service Board. She enjoyed traveling, reading, attending book club, and especially her monthly prayer group. She was also a talented designer, with impeccable taste for home decorating and clothing.

The family would like to extend a sincere thanks to everyone from Genesis Hospice for their care to Judy and the family. Judy appreciated the love and support of her many friends.

Those left to honor her memory include her husband, Tom; and children, Maribeth (Mark) Green, Lynda Kerkhoven, all of Davenport, Jeffrey Kerkhoven, Dubuque, and Anne (Ryan) Moore, Bettendorf; grandchildren whom she adored, Ryan (Valerie) Green, Megan (Jerime) Cowherd, Brandan (Samantha) Green, and Kirstan and Morgan Green; Joseph, Alex and Anika Kerkhoven; and Grace, Odin, and Atticus Moore; great-grandsons, Weston and Zander; and a childhood “sister friend”, Elizabeth Bartz.
