“Grandma Judy,” as she was lovingly known was born on September 14, 1939 in Yankton, South Dakota and passed at 80 years old on August 13, 2020 in Pass Christian, MS.

She was raised by Veronica and Maynard DeRoos in Sacramento, CA where she lived until she got married and moved to Southern California. She lived in Montclair, Palm Springs, Mt. Baldy and Claremont until she retired in Mississippi. She was married for 33 years. She is survived by her four children, their spouses and grandchildren; Daniel and Christina Sheneman-Wolf and their children; Seamus and Emma Wolf (Frankfurt, Germany), David and Stella Pierce Wolf and their children; Katherine Grace (deceased), Daniel, Isabel and Victoria Wolf (Pass Christian, MS), Michael and Stacy Brown Wolf and their children; Mary-Rose and Owen (Brandon, MS), Erica Wolf-Graham and Ralph Graham and children; Mickey and Teagan Hamel (Highland, CA). She is also survived by her sister; Mary Foreman, (Brandon, MS), and Jim DeRoos (Manteca, CA).

She will be best remembered for the love she showed to her family and her generosity and giving spirit. She attended college in at American River Junior College in Sacramento, CA where she majored in Home Economics. She loved to swim, was an avid reader, loved praying the rosary and loved to celebrate holidays and send cards to her loved ones. She was a life-long Girl Scout, a member of Assistance League, a school librarian, a day care provider, a driver for Meals on Wheels, a member of the Women’s Club and was always willing to give a helping hand. The family celebrated her life in a socially-distanced Zoom call. Great thanks to the caregivers at Dixie White House in Pass Christian, who cared and loved her for the last few years.

A private Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Long Beach.
