Judith Sharon Grande (Morken) was born on October 11, 1948, in Redondo Beach, CA and passed away peacefully on February 24, 2025 at her home in Fertile, MN, she was 76 years old.

Judy was the only daughter of Arthur and Selma Morken. She graduated from Redondo Beach High School in 1966 where she attended beautician college and practiced cosmetology for many years before moving to Modesto, CA where she worked at the Campbell Soup cannery for 17 years. Once she moved to Fertile, she worked at Dee Inc. in Crookston, MN, ran an at home day care and was a CNA at Fair Meadow Nursing Home and Home Health in Fertile.

Judy loved taking family trips to Disneyland, Easter trips to Sonora, CA, and spur of the moment trips to Paramount Great America theme park. Her pastime was spent crocheting blankets and other items for her grandkids, family, and friends. Christmas was her favorite time of year. She loved decorating with many trees and had a love for collecting Santa Clauses. Judy was an amazing cook and baker. Her crown jewel was when she hand-made each of her children's wedding cakes. She also made the best potato salad ever!

Judy was preceded in death by her parents, Arthur and Selma Morken, and her brother, Jerome Morken. Judy is survived by her three children, Sonya (Javier) Perez, San Tan Valley, AZ, Arthur (Julie) Grande, Modesto, CA, and Robert (Karla) Grande, San Diego, CA; grandchildren, Alexis Perez, Andrew (Magoo) Perez, Anna Perez, Marissa Torres, Arthur Grande Jr, Arielle Grande, Valentina Grande, Phoenix Grande, and Aleksander Grande; and great grandchildren, Ava and Adrian Major.

Per Judy's request, no services will be held.
