Obituary published on Legacy.com by Eaton Funeral Home & Cremation Center - Main Chapel on Mar. 4, 2025.
Judy A. Endress passed away on March 1, 2025, at Missouri Baptist Hospital in Sullivan, Missouri.
Judy was born on August 22, 1955, in St. Louis, MO, to Elvin and Nellie Wille. She spent the first part of her childhood in St. Louis before the family relocated to Cedar Hill, MO. It was here in 1972 she first met Ken Endress and the two were married on July 2, 1972. Over the years Ken and Judy were blessed with 6 children.
Judy's life was dedicated to raising her children. Some of their greatest memories were living on 20 acres near Bonne Terre, where she tended to gather all the neighborhood kids. Her heart and her home were open to all. Judy loved watching her soap operas and gameshows. However, her life was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a great cook and the family especially loved her biscuits and gravy. She was an outgoing person who enjoyed playing Phase 10 and Uno with her grandkids.
Judy is survived by her husband, Ken of Bourbon; 5 children; Jeff Endress and wife Julie of Desoto, Jesse Endress and wife Jessica of Desoto, Jeremy Endress of Sullivan, Juanita Tedder of Washington and Darla Sue Belew and husband Kenny of Desoto; 13 grandchildren; Torri Lyn, Dalton, Paisley, Kristin, Nathan, Brianna, Bianca, Darrell, Robert, Sahara, Tye, Holly and Misty; 17 great-grandchildren, one brother Oscar Wille of Piedmont, MO, and three sisters Debbie Chase of Eldon, MO, Connie Dobbs of Steeleville, MO, and Terry, who resides in California. She will also be missed by numerous nieces, nephews, other family members and friends.
Judy was preceded in death by her parents, a son, Ken Endress Jr., a brother Elvin Wille, and two sisters, Susie Webster and Cherry Brock.
