Judy WendtJudy Wendt, of Warsaw, passed away at 6:13 a.m. on Saturday, March 21, 2020, at Kosciusko Community Hospital of Warsaw at the age of 77.
She was born on Sept. 22, 1942, in Fort Collins, Colo., to Dorothy M. Carson Bushnell and Dale A. Bushnell. On June 11, 1963, she was married to Theodore “Ted” Wendt, who survives.
Judy received her bachelor’s degree in science and education from Colorado State University. She was a proud lifelong educator and taught secondary education and high school in Fort Collins, Colo., and Franklin, Mass. She had a passion for teaching and loved her students. Judy never tired of teaching children about history and took her responsibility as a teacher to heart and wanted to prepare her students for the future. She and her husband moved to Kosciusko County in 1994 from Arlington, Texas. She was a supporter of Precept Ministries International teaching people how to study scripture worldwide. She became a precept teaching leader, going on many tours with precept to Israel and Greece following Paul’s missionary journeys. Judy enjoyed attending Warsaw Community Church and Winona Lake Grace Brethren Church. She loved the mountains and her place in Colorado. She simply loved the Lord’s creations and the beauty in the west and its vast wildness. Judy will be remembered for her love of people and her giving heart … but most of all she was a loving wife, mother and grandmother and will be dearly missed.
She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 56 years, Ted Wendt; son, Michael (Linda) W. Wendt, Salt Lake City; daughter, Amy (Chris) Lowman, Warsaw; two grandchildren: Matthew Lowman and Megan Lowman, both of Warsaw; and her brother, Jack (Jeanette) Bushnell, Flower Mound, Texas.
