Hill, Judy Lynn (24 July 1958 – 23 August 2022)
Judy Lynn Hill passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 23, 2022, at the age of
64.
Judy was born on July 24, 1958, in Marshfield, the daughter of Harold and
Marliss (Uhrig) Collinson. As a child, Judy and her siblings loved adventuring
around the family farm. She graduated from Loyal High School in 1976. She stayed
close to home, attending UW-Marshfield before transferring to UW-La Crosse,
graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education in 1981. She had a
passion for education and impacting future generations. “Miss Judy,” as she was
fondly called by many children and their parents, dedicated her life to the
education and development of preschoolers, many of whom returned years later,
entrusting their children to her loving care.
Judy met the love of her life, Don Hill, at UW-Marshfield. She was a
cheerleader, and he was a basketball player; Judy had her eye on him at first
sight. On May 29, 1982, the two were married at Loyal United Methodist Church in
Loyal. Together, they raised their two children, Craig and Tracie in La Crosse.
Judy loved spending time with her friends and family, especially trips with her
siblings and college roommates. She was a proud mother and grandmother, and
enjoyed watching her kids and grandkids’ sports, drama and musical events. She
also loved taking care of their dog, Benny. Judy and Don loved taking road
trips, often trying their luck at a casino along the way. They recently
celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary by returning to Niagara Falls, where
they went on their honeymoon.
She is lovingly survived by her husband Don; their children Craig (Jen) Hill of
Rochester, MN and Tracie (Brett) Schendel of Eden Prairie, MN. She has two
grandchildren: Kendall & Mason Hill. She is also survived by her siblings Debra
(Dan) McNeely; Keith (Marja) Collinson; Karen (Dave) Gallion; Mark (Shawn)
Collinson; and Janalee (Gerald) Graham, as well as sister-in-law Cheryl
Collinson, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Judy is preceded in death by her parents Harold and Marliss Collinson, her
brother, Tommy Collinson, and her in-laws Ben and Edna Hill.
A celebration of life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, August 29, 2022, at
Schumacher-Kish Funeral Home, 200 West Ave. S, La Crosse, WI 54601. Visitation
will be held from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 28, 2022, and one
hour prior to the service on Monday.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Judy’s honor to the charity of your
