Deloris Mae (Nemmers) Judes was born June 24, 1930, and died February 13, 2024. She was 93 years 7 months 20 days old.

Born at her grandmother’s house in Murray County near Worthington, MN to Florian (Ole) and Lillian (Wulff) Nemmers.

Attended Lutheran school in Fulda until her father and mother moved to rural Sedan. She met Darwin Judes at Walter League and church activities, and they were married on June 27, 1948. Married almost 58 years before Darwin passed away in 2006.

They farmed in Raymond township, near Sauk Centre from 1948 until 1986, when they moved to the Minneapolis area to work as custodians. They retired and moved to Osakis for a few years, before moving to Parkview Court in Glenwood where she lived for about 25 years. While on the farm she gardened, canned, and had beautiful flowers. She also helped out on the farm doing chores and driving tractor. She enjoyed Ladies Aid, birthday club, and bible studies. She also helped with fall supper, and was willing to help neighbors in need.

In Minneapolis she was in choir and volunteered. While in Parkview she enjoyed doing many craft opportunities, playing bingo, bike rides, and entertainment.

Deloris will be remembered as a sweet loving mom with a generous heart, easy smile, and freely gave hugs and kisses. Life advice she would pass along to her grandchildren and others: “Be good to one another. Don’t fight, look out for one another. Be a good friend and help someone if they need help. When you go to school, learn everything you can. You will never regret it. Get good grades and see some of the country if you can. Tell your children I love you or give them hugs and kisses may make their day.”

Deloris will be greatly missed.

Preceded in death by mother Lillian Nemmers, father Florian Nemmers, husband Darwin, daughter Donna, son Darrel, and baby girl, as well as other family and friends.

Many thanks and appreciation to the staff at Parkview Court and Moments Hospice who loved up on Deloris.
