Judith Ann Kissel (Hendricks) passed away on Sunday, September 20, 2020.
Judi was born to the late Lola and Milton Hendricks in Green Bay, WI on August 6, 1938. She graduated from East High School in 1956, and attended St. Norbert College. On December 27, 1958, she married the love of her life, Robert Edward Kissel Jr.
Judi enjoyed being a homemaker - she loved to entertain, kept a beautifully decorated home, and looked forward to her work with the Service League, P.E.O., and Garden Club of Green Bay. Her artistic flair could be found in every part of her life, with a natural talent for sketching and painting - talents that she passed along to her children and grandchildren. In her younger years, Judi and Bob shared many memories of their camping and playing cards with her sister Gail, Chuck and David. They also enjoyed other family events including duck hunting, Kissel Kar heritage events, and sailing the Great Lakes.

Grandchildren Isaac Sloat, Rebecca Thompson (Chris), Kathryn Kissel, Austin Kissel, Ingrid Reinhardt (David). Great grandchild Camden J. Thompson.
