Memorial Service: 11 a.m. Saturday, March 16, 2019, at Cedar Hills Community Church, Cedar Rapids. Officiated by Pastor Kent Landhuis.
Judith was born August 22, 1939, in Creston, Iowa to Hugh and June (Shoenhair) Griffin. She graduated from Trenton High School. On August 18, 1957, Judith was united in marriage to Eugene “Gene” Dlouhy at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, Cedar Rapids. The two had been married for sixty-one years when Gene passed away on August 27, 2018.
Judith worked at a law office after high school, and then was a homemaker while her children were young. She additionally worked as bookkeeper for a few car dealerships and assisted Gene and her son, Marc, to operate Dlouhy Auto Repair. After all her kids graduated, she worked at Randall Foods in the Deli/Restaurant. Judith was a member of the WIBC, several local card clubs, and was a member of Cedar Hills Community Church
Judith was a very loving, caring, honest, and loyal mother and wife. She was always great at sending cards of thanks, for special events, and in times of need to family and friends. She was known for her smile, wit, humor, friendly conversation, and for welcoming everyone as a friend. She was always complimented on being sharply dressed and looking snazzy! Judith loved her family very much, watching her kids and grandkids, working the concession stands to help with fundraising for her kids’ sporting events, attending all their sporting events (many will remember – rock and fire baby), attending mystery events with Gene and her friends, and shopping with her daughters. She loved couples bowling with Gene, golfing, playing cards, sitting outdoors, playing yard games, cooking, dining out and traveling.
Judith is survived by her children: daughter, Melody Henderson; sons, Marc (Lynn) Dlouhy and Matt Dlouhy; and daughter, Monica (Mike) Wilk; six grandchildren, Kyle and Logan Dlouhy, Randi (Jason) Roggentien, Blakeley Dlouhy, and twins Cameron and Campbell Dlouhy; five step-grandchildren, Jennissa (Eric Gertge) Voorhees, Sam (Morgan) Wilk, Joe Wilk, Joy Wilk, and Jocilyn (Joel) Ray; two great-grandchildren, Carver and Cutler Roggentien; four step-great-grandchildren, Wyatt Gertge, Maisy Wilk, Joanie and Jaylin Ray; brother, Hugh (Patricia) Griffin; brother-in-law, Frank Dlouhy; several nieces and nephews; and many special friends, including Melissa Cardwell, Linda Welp and Joanne Eastin.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Gene and parents, Hugh and June Griffin.
