Judith "Judy" Irene Bremer

Judith Irene Bremer, age 83, of Monticello, passed away peacefully at home on May 5, 2025, with her beloved dogs, Willow and Lily, faithfully by her side.

For entertainment and enjoyment, Judy loved gardening, gambling, fishing, going to lunch with her friends, playing cribbage, and just plain “BS-ing” around!

Judy’s love for children was evident. Not only was she a devoted homemaker who raised her own five children, but she also worked for over 20 years as a paraprofessional in the Monticello School District. In addition, she farmed—raising cows, chickens, and pigs, and many small animals throughout her lifetime.

Preceding Judy in death were her parents, Irene and Jesse Kimball; her husband, Joe; her daughter, Amy C. Schnautz; and her daughter-in-law, Deb Bremer.

Surviving her are her children: Joe Jr. (Jody) Bremer of Maple Lake; Tony (Deb) Bremer of Monticello; Sarah (Greg) Greene of Milaca; and Troy (Beth) Bremer of Maple Lake. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Alexis Bremer (Mike), Meghan Sonsteby (Bobby), Erika Sonsteby (Joe), Lucas Bremer (Brooke), Dan Sieg (Laura), Jake Sieg, Kevin Sieg, Jenny Sieg, Bo Bremer, Hank Bremer, Hugh Landman, Lily Landman, Chad Starr, and Chelsey Starr; great-grandchildren: Chloe, Henry, Jack, and Colton; her sister, Jeanne “Auntie” Wolfe; as well as nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends—and her cherished dogs, Willow and Lily. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 at 7PM with visitation from 5-7PM at Peterson-Grimsmo Funeral Chapel, 250 Broadway St. E., Monticello, MN. 763-295-2918. www.peterson-grimsmochapel.com.
