Doris Judy (Petruska) Linzmeier, age 84, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on April 11, 2026. Judy was born on September 15, 1941, in Anoka, MN. to Wilhelm and Dora Youngmark. Judy is survived by her sons; Darrin (Nancy) Petruska, Stevens Point, WI., Dustin Petruska, Adams, WI., and her daughter Darcy (Tim Bartels), Necedah, WI. Stepdaughter Marcia Linzmeier, Rapid River, MI., stepsons, Mike (Teresa) Linzmeier, Tomah, WI., Brian (Cindi) Linzmeier, Nekoosa, WI., and Brady Linzmeier, Wisconsin Rapids, WI. Sisters; Lois Williams, Friendship, WI., Joan Petersen, Milaca, MN. Brothers; Bill (Sharon) Youngmark, Raleigh, NC., Byron (Cathy Shreck) Youngmark, Chaska, MN., Dan (Sandy) Youngmark, Fridley, MN. Sister-in-laws; Noreen Youngmark, Phoenix, AZ., Barb Youngmark, Somerset, WI., and Liz Youngmark, Oak Grove, MN., along with 18 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren.
Judy had a true gift for creating, making everything she touched into something beautiful. She loved sewing and quilting, often turning fabric into cherished keepsakes for those she loved. Her hands were rarely still—whether she was woodworking, crafting, or baking something delicious to share. She felt most at peace outdoors and happiest surrounded by family, music, and the lively rhythm of polka.
Judy is preceded in death by her parents, first husband; Thomas (Tom) Petruska, second husband; Robert (Bob) Linzmeier, sister; Jean Reiman, brothers; Paul Youngmark, Bruce Youngmark and David Youngmark, and brothers-in-law; Ted Peterson and Edwin Williams.
Per Judy’s wishes, private family services were held at the Mt. Repose Cemetery. Roseberry Funeral Home assisted the family. Visit www.roseberrys.com for online condolences.

Dusty & family,
So very sorry for the loss of ya’ll’s Mom, Grandma and friend. We think of you often, Dusty and loosing a parent is never easy. Please know I just said a prayer for you, as I often do when you cross my mind. You’re a good guy(please don’t forget that) and I pray this finds you well?! 🙏✝️♥️ You know lovey & I would wish only the best for you also.
It’s hard not being in Adams anymore and we all go in different directions. We’re actually in Florida at the moment. Lovey is working in Naples and we sold the Tn. land back last fall, as we prayed on it and everything happens for a reason. 🙏 We are still up in Holcombe and now bought a house in Northern Central Florida. 😳 How weird how our plans aren’t always God’s plans?! As, HE above all is in charge. Who knew it reminds us of WI with fresh water fishing, pines and oaks(but has salt water fishing and 1/2 hr from the coast! And so much better than the weather in the winter in WI. and palm trees 🌴 mixed in! Truly Heaven on earth to us!! 🙏✝️🙏 God is good all the time and we always pray and wish for the best for you! Miss seeing your happy smile and laugh. ♥️
Big Hugs, much Love & prayers~Lovey(Curtie) & Michelle Pollex 🥰
