Judith Marie (Fox) Eng

Eng, Judith Marie (Fox) April 14, 1938 - April 13, 2024 Beloved wife, mother, and grandmother passed away April 13, 2024, one day before her 86th birthday, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Watertown, SD, Judie was one of 7 siblings and from a young age, she learned the value of family and importance of kindness. She was a cherished wife of Leonard Eng and together they shared love, laughter, and companionship. Their bond was a testament to the enduring power of devotion. Judie was a devoted mother to her children, Jodi Rosenthal, Jill Skoog, and Jeff Suttor. She was not only their mother but their confidant, their cheerleader, and their rock. Judie's greatest joy however, came from her grandchildren. She was a doting grandmother, showering them with love and affection at every opportunity. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Frauenshuh Cancer Center, and in particular to Dr. Menge, for their compassionate care and support during Judie's illness. Their kindness will always be remembered. Judie selflessly chose to donate her body to the Anatomy Bequest Program at the University of Minnesota, a final act of kindness and generosity which exemplified her compassionate spirit. A Celebration of Judie's Life will be held in the near future and details will be furnished at a later date. May Judie's memory be a blessing to all and may she rest in peace.
