Judith L. Henning

Judith L. “Judy” Henning, age
57, of Fond du Lac, passed away Sunday, March 24, 2019 at St. Agnes Hospital from
complications related to cancer treatment. She was born on May 26, 1961, the
daughter of James and Mary Anne (nee Rhodee) Arthur, and grew up in Fond du Lac,
WI. On October 12, 1996, she married the love of her life, David E. Henning,
who on that same day officially became the willing step-father of Judy’s son,
Ian Arthur.

 

A 1979 graduate of Goodrich High
School, she completed her B.S. in English at Marian College and worked as a
trust officer for several years before returning to school to complete her
teaching certification and masters’ degree at Concordia University in Mequon, WI.
Most recently she worked with SED students at Theisen Middle School, and prior
to that at Woodworth Middle School. In addition to her full time jobs, she also
worked at Club Olympia for many years. While in high school, Judy marched with
the Marquis Drum & Bugle Corps, including two trips to National DCI
competitions. She had a passion for music of all genres, especially classic
rock. With her husband Dave and sister Carol, she was an advocate for animal
rights and provided a loving home to many shelter and rescue dogs and cats
through the years. Her kind and warm nature meant she had a large group of
friends and enjoyed gathering with them for get togethers and parties. She
inherited a “green thumb” from her grandpa Rhodee, and created beautiful flower
gardens.

 

Judy is survived by her son, Ian
(Emily) Arthur; her mother, Mary Arthur; her father-in-law, David “Mike” Henning,
Sr.; all of Fond du Lac; her brother-in-law, Scot (Jodi) Henning of Neenah;
along with nieces, nephews, cousins and countless friends. She is further
survived by her beloved pets; dog, Abby and cats, Atticus and Jem. She was
preceded in death by her husband, David Henning, Jr.; her sister, Carol N. Field;
her father, James Arthur; and her mother-in-law, Jane Henning.
