Judith Carolyn Rolenc was born on August 8, 1942, to Les and Miriam (Havlu) Anderson. Her stepfather, John Wachs, was whom she called dad. Judy passed away on April 13, 2025, at the age of 82 years.

Judy met Ronald Rolenc while she was working at the parts counter at her dad's Pontiac and Oliver tractor dealership in David City, Nebraska. They were united in marriage on June 21, 1961. To this union, three sons were born: Scott, Steven, and Stanford.

In 1964, they moved to Red Oak, Iowa, where they made their home for the rest of their lives. In 1969, Ron and Judy started Red Oak Diesel Clinic, Inc., which they ran all their working years. Judy was the grease that kept the wheel turning both at home and at the shop. She was a loving mother who encouraged her sons to always do their very best. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought her much joy.
