Obituary: Judy Ann (Mittlesteadt) Bloss

Judy Ann (Mittlesteadt) Bloss passed on to her next life on November 18th , 2024. She was born in Winfield Township on June 26th , 1943. Being the oldest child in the family, Judy had a lot of responsibilities around the farm, like milking cows, gathering eggs, feeding the chickens, and gardening. She also packed lunches and walked with her sister Sharon to Hay Creek School. Judy enjoyed being a member of Jolly Beaver 4-H Club. It was a big day when they went to Madison and square danced on T .V . On November 14th , 1958 at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Rock Springs she married Marvin G. Bloss and they paid for their beautiful wedding. At the reception in Loganville, her father’s toast was “I just lost the best hired help I ever had.” The dance followed even with a blizzard that night. They then bought a trailer and lived on a farm outside of Reedsburg. They were blessed with a beautiful family of four children. In 1962, they bought a huge Victorian house in Rock Springs just one street over from Marvin’s parents. They lived there for 53 years before moving to Reedsburg. Judy worked as a waitress at Behnke’s in Rock Springs, co-managed the roller rink in Rock Springs, and worked as a teaching assistant for the School District of Reedsburg where she retired after 28 years.
