Jerome Judge
April 1, 1925 — June 16, 2010
age 85, a lifelong resident of Cannon Falls, died on Wednesday June 16, 2010 at his residence.
Jerome was born on April 1, 1925 in Cannon Falls, the son of Francis J. and Margaret A. (Farrell) Judge. He graduated from the Cannon Falls High School in 1943. He served with the Merchant Marines from 1943 until 1951. He was then drafted in to the US Army, and was honorably discharged on March 8, 1953.
Jerome married Marguerite J. Swenson on October 4, 1957 at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Goodhue.
He was retired after 35 years at Koch Oil Refinery. Jerome was an active member of St. Pius V Catholic Church in Cannon Falls, where he was involved with the Father Paul Judge Knights of Columbus Council #4481. He was also a member of the VFW Nelson Scofield Post #4452.
He was an avid woodworker and really enjoyed his time spent in his workshop. Along with various furniture items, he made musical instruments for his daughter’s school, including harps, Orffs and xylophones. He also enjoyed his morning coffee at the Cannonball “Circle of Wisdom.”
He is survived by his wife of 52 years, Marguerite; two daughters, Jeanne (Richard) Judge Keane and JoAnne (Christopher) Judge-Dietz, all of Pine Island; son, Jeffrey (Jean Bross) Judge of Minnetonka; six grandchildren, Gillian and Riley Keane, Meredith Dietz, Nico, Daniel and Clare Judge; four sisters, Helen Egan of Sun City, AZ, Margaret Sheridan, Patricia Doffing both of Hastings; brother-in-law Herb Peine of Hastings; and many nieces and nephews.
