Obituary
MADISON - Judy A. Koberle, age 77, of Madison, passed away on Thursday, April 23, 2020. She was born on Aug. 27, 1942, in Madison, the daughter of Harold and Alice (Davis) Zimmerman.
Judy graduated from Sun Prairie High School in 1959. She married Kenneth Koberle and they were together for 47 years.
Judy enjoyed her time reading books (especially James Patterson), solving crossword puzzles, playing euchre with her family and friends and taking trips to the cabin in Big Flats, WI. She loved having dogs in her life and was blessed with her two yellow labs, Casey and Sasha, and her very spoiled “grand dog”, Leia. In recent years, one of Judy’s favorite past times were the several visits a week from her son, Scott and grand dog, Leia. Leia guarded the yard and birdfeeders from every squirrel in the neighborhood while she and Scott enjoyed long conversations, watched any Badgers, Packers, and Bucks games and had a beer or two.
Judy is survived by two sons, Scott (Jennifer) Koberle and Todd (Janet) Koberle; daughters, Teri (Travis) Pence, Kathi (Ron) Esser and Kelly (Steve) Alt; 13 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and sister, Donna Smith. She was preceded in death by her husband, Kenneth; brother, Ronny Zimmerman; and sister, Paulette Will.
A memorial gathering will be held at a later date. We will miss you Mom, Granny, GrandMima. You’re with Dad, Casey Boy and Sasha now. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com.

Kathi and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember being kids, I think she got sick of me hanging out with you all the time. If we weren't at your place we were at mine. Never causing trouble always having fun. I pray you find peace.

Judy Koberle, a name so familiar to me from years ago when my stepmom, Bertha Barbeau Hepner was so happy to have Judy and Ken visit her home in Park Falls. She looked forward to and enjoyed their company, she made it sound like her own kids were coming home. I am sorry never to have met Judy and Kenny but feel I knew them thru Bert. I am sorry and want to extend our sympathy to her family for their loss. Alice Hepner Tucker and family.

To all the children of Ken and Judy,
We are so very sorry for your loss, may all the memories over the years help you heal the pain.
When ever I saw your Mom and Dad, I called them Maaa, and Daaad. It was a private joke between us.
Judy was always a very special friend to Sue, as they had a lot of fun , and got into a lot of mischief together. Sue was lucky enough to talk to Judy, two days before she passed away. Judy was blessed with very special children like Scot to help her in her final years.
May God bless and keep you all in this time of great sorrow.

Dear cousins: I am sad to learn of your mother's passing and can only imagine how difficult it must be for all of you to endure. As you grieve her passing I hope that you can lean on each other for strength, to celebrate her life—to look back at family memories she was a part of, and to look forward to future memories where both of your parents will be present in spirt. I am so very sorry for your loss.
Hugs, Nancy
