Judith Arlene Galusha, 85 years old, of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, passed away on January 26, 2026, surrounded in peace and love.

Judy was born on June 18, 1940, in Waukegan, Illinois to Kenneth and Veronica Iles. She grew up in Waukegan and attended the local grade school and high school.

Judy dedicated her life’s work to serving expecting mothers and families, working as an Office Coordinator for OBGYN’s in Milwaukee, Waukegan and Libertyville for over 15 years. She also supported the family business Carriage Autobody for a few years as she transitions into retirement. In her later years of retirement Judy remained dedicated to serving those in need volunteering in Hospice for many years. She was known for deep devotion and care.

Judy will be remembered for her passion for family, love for the little ones and making the holidays special. She loved fashion, taking in movies, was an avid racing fan and took great pride and joy in creating beautiful spaces filled with lush green plants and vibrant flowers. To know Judy was to know her silly sense of humor and fun loving spirit.
