Judy Ann (Mittlesteadt) Bloss
Judy Ann (Mittlesteadt) Bloss passed on to her next life on November 18th , 2024. She was born in Winfield Township on June 26th , 1943. Being the oldest child in the family, Judy had a lot of responsibilities around the farm, like milking cows, gathering eggs, feeding the chickens, and gardening. She also packed lunches and walked with her sister Sharon to Hay Creek School. Judy enjoyed being a member of Jolly Beaver 4-H Club. It was a big day when they went to Madison and square danced on T .V . On November 14th , 1958 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Rock Springs she married Marvin G. Bloss and they paid for their beautiful wedding. At the reception in Loganville, her father’s toast was “I just lost the best hired help I ever had.” The dance followed even with a blizzard that night. They then bought a trailer and lived on a farm outside of Reedsburg. They were blessed with a beautiful family of four children. In 1962, they bought a huge Victorian house in Rock Springs just one street over from Marvin’s parents. They lived there for 53 years before moving to Reedsburg. Judy worked as a waitress at Behnke’s in Rock Springs, co-managed the roller rink in Rock Springs, and worked as a teaching assistant for the School District of Reedsburg where she retired after 28 years. After retiring, Marvin and Judy spent 6 years in Arizona and 5 years in Florida as camp hosts while living in their RV . Many wonderful memories and friends were made along the way. They were also fortunate to do a lot of traveling including Alaska and Hawaii and family vacations. Those left with beautiful memories are her husband, Marvin. Her children Tammy (Brian), Alan (Theresa), Terry (Nickeisha), and Amy. Her grandchildren Chasity (Jay), Tait, Briana (Gavin), Amanda (Kyle), Alan (Cora), Cory (Stacy), Candace (Richard), Christopher, Eric (Diana), Teryc, Marvel, Keneil, Devin, McCartney (Tyler), Jarod (Jamie). Her great-grandchildren Dustin (Alex), Renee (Cole), Peyton, Wyatt, Percy, Trinity, Melanie, Taylee, Lily, Alden, David, Maverick, Sage, Casey, and Caleb. Her great-great-grandchildren Bowden, Brynley, Isla, and Ivy. Her siblings Sharon (Bill) and family, James (Carolyn) and family, Cousin Joice and many other relatives and friends. Those waiting for God’s call of Judy were her grandparents Melcom and Blanche, grandparents JD and Loretta, parents Russell and Delores, sister Linda, in-laws Ellsworth and Bernice, brother-in-laws Dale and Kenneth, special aunt and uncle Edith and Ralph, son-in-law Marc, adopted son Arnold. Private family services will be held at a later date.
It was a shock when Steve let me know about Judy’s passing. We are so sorry for your loss. I remember the first time meeting her and your dad at the campground in Lyndon Station and the many good times we had and good laughs! RIP Judy. Till we meet again!!
I am so sorry for the loss of Judy. I always enjoyed her friendly talks during all those co-op picnics. She will be missed. Prayers to the entire family

Ron and I send our sympathy to you all. Judy was a Mom to all of her children’s friends. I will miss running into her around town. May you all find comfort and peace in your memories.
A definite shock. I had just had a nice visit with Judy on the phone a few days before. Then I received a text message from another friend, telling me she had passed away in her sleep the night before…….. Judy and I worked together for several years in the
Reedsburg School District. You will be miss by a lot of people.
Our prayers to Marvin and your family.
It’s a great loss even though Marvin Judy and I didn’t grow up together we had a bond that seemed as though we did she will be greatly missed but we know she’s in a better place no pain no sorrow
Praying for all their family and friends
Be safe be well God bless 🙏🙏
My deepest condolences to everyone. I have known Judy since is was a toddler. She was a friend of my parents. I learned to roller skate in Rock Springs when we lived there. She made me feel part of the family and we’d talk on the phone or stop by for coffee and she always had treats. She is missed and still can’t believe she is gone. Rest in peace Ma Bloss.

My sincere condolences to her family. I feel like I got to know Judy through stories and conversations while working with her daughter Tammy over the past 14 years. I will miss reading Judy’s online comments and seeing the positive support she showed for her daughter’s adventures at work in the classroom. Judy’s pride for her daughter and the work ethic she instilled in her is clearly evident. I know she will be missed. May she rest in peace.
