Judith (Judy) Ann Fuehrer was born on April 4, 1943, to Erwin and Edith (Heinz) Schmidt in her Grandma Martha Heinz’s home in Sutton, Nebraska. After graduating from Sutton High School in 1961, she married her high school sweetheart, Richard Lee Fuehrer, on May 23, 1964, at Zion Lutheran Church in Sutton. Their son, Cory, was born just before lunch on December 1, 1966, at Lincoln General Hospital.
Judy was again united in marriage to Ronald Huff on August 20, 2021, at Brentwood Estates in Lincoln. They soon moved to Gateway Vista in Lincoln.
Judy worked as a medical technologist and occasional X-ray technician for more than 40 years before retiring in 2010. Her career included time at Kearney Medical Clinic, Henderson Community Hospital, St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Lincoln, Lexington Regional Health Center, Gothenburg Memorial Hospital, and, finally, Antelope Memorial Hospital in Neligh, where she retired.
Judy enjoyed playing the piano, gardening, reading, journaling, being a grandmother, and spending time with her friends and cats. She loved to sit down with a cup of coffee and simply “people-watch” in busy public places. She also treasured time at “the cabin” near Norden, Nebraska. Judy was known for her contagious smile as acquaintances marveled at how she lit up a room. That smile was supported by Judy’s admirable sense of humor.
In recent years, Judy was an early adopter of Alexa and smart TVs. These tools, along with catalog shopping, filled her time as she found just the right gift for loved ones.
Judy is survived by her husband, Ronald Huff of Lincoln, son Cory, and daughter-in-law, Jodi (Peters) Fuehrer of Firth, NE, granddaughter Madison (Mason) Wilken Fuehrer of Douglas, NE, granddaughter Sydney Fuehrer of Omaha, NE, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the People’s City Mission, Lincoln, NE.
