Judy K (Bensley) Alexander, age 75 of Mondamin, passed away Dec. 18, 2024, at Longview Nursing Home with her family by her side.
Judy was born in Council Bluffs on Sept. 26, 1949, to Marvin and Marjorie (Morrow) Bensley.
Judy attended and graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in 1967. She married Francis “Bud” Alexander on April 25, 1975, in Council Bluffs. Judy took the leap of faith and was baptized in Blue Lake on July 31, 2016.
Judy enjoyed the simple things in life, such as spending time with her family, friends and beloved pups, Ginger, Molly, and Tiny. She would help Bud on the farm. She was not afraid to get dirty to help get a job done. She loved to go camping, fishing, taking road trips with Bud and growing a large garden. However, her favorite time of the year was firework season. Judy and Bud hosted many memorable Fourth of July parties throughout the years.
Judy leaves behind to cherish her memory, her husband of nearly 50 years, Francis “Bud”; beloved pup, Tiny; sister, Jeannie Porter; sister-in-law, Joane Alexander; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Marvin and Marjorie Bensley; parents-in-law, Marion and Nellie Alexander; sisters, Carol (Pee-Wee) (Bill) Baier, Joann (Ron) Johnson; brothers-in-law, Norman Alexander, Bill McNerny, and Charles Porter.
Services were conducted Dec. 22, 2024, at Logan Christian Church.
