Shirley Ann Juds, 85, passed away on Aug. 15, 2013, at the Life Care Center of Sierra Vista, Ariz.
Shirley Ann Martha Schulz was born on Aug. 27, 1927, in Milwaukee to Robert and Lillian (Tank) Schulz. She graduated from Rufus King High School on June 15, 1945. She was united in marriage to Howard Juds on June 21, 1947, at Gospel Lutheran Church in Milwaukee.
She worked as a secretary at Spincraft and later as a cost clerk with Allis Chalmers. In 1959, Shirley and Howard moved to Cecil, where they owned and operated Juds Tavern for many years. After selling the business, the Juds family remained in the Cecil/Bonduel area. Shirley served as the clerk-treasurer for the village of Cecil from 1978-1995. After her husband’s death in 1995, Shirley relocated to Onalaska to live with her daughter, Monica. She moved with Monica’s family to Arizona in 1996.
Shirley resided at the Life Care Center of Sierra Vista following a stroke in February 2004. Her sense of humor and personality endeared her to the staff.
