Judith Wehinger
She was born August 17, 1942, to Arleigh and Hazel Johnson. Raised in Woodford, WI and graduated from South Wayne High School (now Blackhawk School District), and then UW-Stout with Home-Ec/English dual major. She married James Wehinger Sr on August 10, 1963 at the East Wiota Lutheran Church. For about the next 20 years she ran the office for the family business in South Wayne. For a few years after that managed a women’s clothing store in Austin, TX, until returning to Friendship, WI where she was the office manager for a local realty office until retirement.
She was active with many different organizations throughout the years, and especially cherished memories of serving as an advisor for Luther League. Then a 9-month commitment to be a host for an exchange student turned into hosting 3 (all from the same family), and a blessed relationship with their family for nearly 49 years.
She enjoyed many activities including softball, downhill skiing, snowmobiling, dancing, baking, travel, entertaining, and later in life playing Bridge and Suduko. Of course, being a grandmother topped the list as it provided special moments – like teaching her granddaughter to throw a baseball; in the living room! She admired her step-grandchildren; always proud of their accomplishments and wanted to be fully briefed on their activities and next adventures.
She is survived by her son, James Jr (Phyllis); granddaughter Jordyn; step grandchildren Justine (Anthony) Brechtel, Joshua Roatch; step great grandson Dominic Roatch; brother A. David (Mary Ann) Johnson; her exchange children Guillermo, Gerardo, and Gabriella Oseguera (and families); nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Predeceased by her husband James Sr (2007); parents; sisters Ruth Stelter and Donna Johnson; brothers-in-law Laverne Stelter and John Enzinger.
Judith’s wishes were for a private family service with interment at East Wiota Lutheran Church. Celebration of life at a later date. Online condolences can be made at www.roseberrys.com
The family would like to thank the staff at Jefferson Meadows and SSM Hospice for their compassionate care for Judith during her final days.

him, I am so sorry for the loss of your kind and beautiful mother. Both your parents were wonderful to all. May your wonderful memories help you through this very difficult time. Hugs
We are both very sorry to hear of your mom’s passing, Jim. She was such of a wonderful lady who always greeted you with that beautiful smile and a sincere hello. We have many memories of her and your dad as Luther League leaders at East and West Wiota Lutheran Church. They both were such a good example of Jesus hands and feet in the community and made a loving and lasting impact on us young people. We became youth leaders at Wiota Church many years later and we used Jim & Judy Wehinger as an example on how to serve in this very important role in a teenagers life! They were such a blessing to so many! Our sincere sympathy to you and your family and we believe that we will see her and your dad again when our final day comes here on this earth as we enter heaven to be with Jesus for eternity!
Jim, so sorry to hear the passing of your mother. Remembering the good memories in South Wayne. She was a fine lady.
Jim, very sorry to see that your Mom passed away, she was a great lady, sincere condolences to her family & friends.
My sympathy to Judy’s family. Have great memories growing up with Jim & Judy as our Luther League leaders and especially when we went to the Youth Convention in New Orleans! They were such fun and caring people, Judy with her beaming smile and Jim’s antics. I regret that life gets busy and someday turns into too late as I was hoping to visit her in person sometime. Thankful that we chatted about family history some years back and shared stories of our ancestors. – Cara (Shager) Thorison
