Judith Kay (Larsen) Petersen was born Oct. 27, 1941, in Omaha to Clifford and Carmen (Andersen) Larsen. She grew up on a farm outside of Herman.

She was involved in a variety of activities, including 4-H, cheerleading and speech, and graduated from Herman High School in 1959.

On April 19, 1960 she married Kenneth Petersen, and the couple had three children.

Mrs. Petersen liked to keep active in many things. She sold Avon products, bowled, played softball, enjoyed snowmobiling and motorcycling in Colorado. She rarely missed her coffee uptown. Two of her favorite things were watching Husker football and listening to music by Elvis Presley.

She was baptized and confirmed in the Lutheran church and attended Sunday School nearly every Sunday growing up. Her faith continued to grow as a resident of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Home.

She is survived by her parents, Carmen and Clifford Larsen of Blair; sons and daughter-in-law, Dan and Brandi Petersen, and Ken Petersen, all of Omaha; daughter and son-in-law, Terri and Pat Lynch of West Des Moines, Iowa; six grandchildren, brother and sister-in-law, Al and Rita Larsen of Herman, and a sister and brother-in-law, Jo Ann and Gene Engelkemier of Huntsville, Ala.

Memorials are suggested to the Good Shepherd Home.
