Judi was born on November 9, 1934, in DeKalb, Illinois. She attended Northern Illinois State Teachers College in DeKalb before moving to Los Angeles, where she worked for Morris Plan. There she met Kurt, the man who would become her husband. They married on January 17, 1964, and shared 62 years together.
After the children started school, Judi went to work at The Broadway, where she stayed until she retired.
Judi never lost her Illinois roots. She was a devoted fan of the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Bears and cheered them on through good seasons and bad. She was an avid bowler, rarely left a crossword puzzle unfinished, and could always be counted on to watch Jeopardy.
She is survived by her husband, Kurt Trieselmann; her daughter, Beth; her son, Brian; her sister, Donna; her grandchildren, Jamie, Judi, and Jessica; and her great-grandchildren, Destiny and Colbert. She was preceded in death by her sisters, Caroline, Mary, and Cathy.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Judi’s memory to the Alzheimer’s Association California Southland Chapter at alz.org/socal.
