Judy Weiskopf Flower Pictures

Judith "Judy" Weiskopf, 67, Minot, died peacefully in her home Monday, June 7, 2021 with family by her side.

Judy was born November 1, 1953 in Minot, North Dakota, the daughter of Arnold and Betty (Rothenberger) Johnson.  She was raised on a farm in rural Parshall and graduated from Parshall High School in 1971.  Many sweet and joyful memories were made with her siblings and dear friends as she grew up. After graduation, she lived in Minneapolis, attended Business College, and achieved her certification as a flight attendant.

Judy returned to Minot and worked as a waitress at the Capri Café. Soon after, a certain gentleman would come in every morning for breakfast before hitting the road on his daily trucking route, and that is how she met the love of her life, James Weiskopf.  On a first date, Judy rode on the handlebars of Jim's bicycle and she loved to cheer him on at the Nodak Speedway, often shining up his car before the races. They were married on December 28, 1973.

They lived in Minot for a short time before making their home near rural Burlington in 1976.  Judy was employed at the Speedway Restaurant for 27 years, followed by Simonson's, until a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma forced her retirement.  Her greatest and most fulfilling joy in life was being a Mom and nurturing her two children, Bryan and Dana. Jim and Judy worked side by side while raising their family and creating a loving home.  They had many different animals they cared for and she was a constant support to Jim and his trucking/salvage business. They were only separated when Jim sadly passed away on April 8, 2020.

She was an avid gardener who was often found outside, tending to her beautiful flower gardens and enjoying the nature around her. She was well known for her love of baking, cooking and canning; lucky visitors were often sent home with a plate of baked goods made with love. She also loved to read and there was rarely a night you would not find Jim and Judy enjoying each other's company by simply reading together as they unwound from their days. The simplicity of life was what made their love strong and whole.

Judy had attended Peace Lutheran Church in Burlington.

Her loving family includes , children, Bryan Weiskopf of Minot and Dana Weiskopf (Aaron Kirkeby) of Kennedy, MN; siblings, Jim (Mary) Johnson, West Pine Ridge, Manitoba, Ben (Bonnie) Johnson, Oklahoma City, OK, Jean (Terry) Kolden, Roseglen, ND, Andy Johnson, Oklahoma City, OK and brother-in-law Bruce Simonson, Beverly Hills, FL; Father, Arnold Johnson of Garrison; several nieces, nephews and cousins; along with many friends and neighbors.

Judy was preceded in death by her husband, Jim, mother, Betty, her sister, Janet Wherely and brother-in-law Charles (Mary) Weiskopf.
