MCCUNE — Judith E. “Judy” Brown, 82, of McCune passed away the morning of Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at her son’s home in Parsons.
Judith Eileen Rehmert was born on Feb. 19, 1943, to Verle William and Edith May (Bennett) Rehmert in rural McCune. As a young girl, she grew up and attended school in Thayer.
After owning a cleaning business for a time in Springfield, Missouri, Judy decided to stay home and raise her family. A talented homemaker, she enjoyed making a warm, comfortable home for her family. An excellent cook, even Judy’s meatloaf was famous. She sewed everything from quilts to doll clothes and crocheted many other creations. Playing board games and doing puzzles were also favorite pastimes. Family and friends were the most important things to her as demonstrated by her daily breakfasts with her dear friends, Zelda and Evelyn, and her sister, Phyllis, and the loving relationships with her children and grandchildren.
