Judy Martha Mildred Betz, 70 years old of Millstadt, IL, passed away on February 6, 2019 at her residence. She was born April 28, 1948, in East St. Louis.
As a social worker with the Illinois Department of Human Services for over 30 years, Judy provided resources and assistance for families in need. Following retirement, Judy worked tirelessly addressing the issue of hunger in our communities.

Judy was a devoted Aunt, Great Aunt, Sister, Cousin, and friend to many. She was her family’s biggest fan, attending countless sporting events and performances, supporting business endeavors, and sending cards, notes and calls for every occasion. She listened generously, loved selflessly, and through her example taught friends and family to find ways to make the world a better place, keep a sense of humor, and always root for the Cardinals.
