Judith Whinfrey Obituary

I just received my annual Marywood newsletter and was saddened to read of Judy's passing. She was a year ahead of me in high school, but always treated us youngsters with respect. Her smile and laughter were constant, her basketball ability unsurpassed, and her friendship revered. I miss seeing her at the luncheons, and will keep her entire family in my prayers.

Dear Pete,

So sorry to read in the Diecke Center news letter , which I received last week, about Judy. She lived her life for others. How lucky you were that she was a part of your life. Any time is too soon to lose your partner. She will be missed by many.
You are in our prayers.

Ann Rasch & family

Judy and I worked together at Hewitt's Chicago office many years ago, and I worked with Jane Lynk at G.D. Searle. Judy was a joy to be around...I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Cousin-My dad, your Uncle Fred always use to rave about your straight A report cards..our Dads, Frederick H. Lynk, and Leo F. Lynk were the 2 closest brothers in the World-I don't know if I ever told you this, but my Confirmation name is Francis- for your dad! We love you and miss you.I thank God I saw you in Glenview,Illinois in June 2009 at our dinner for Uncle Joseph Lynk -you've amazed us all, dear Judy.

Know I am speaking for all the Wades as I send our prayers to the Lynks. We were at St. Athanasius together as children.

Pete,
Teen and I were so sorry to hear of your loss and send our deepest sympathies.

We wish there were words we could say that could make your days ahead a little kinder but know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

It was a privilege to know your lovely wife, Judy with her beautiful smile and vibrant personality.

May God bless you.

Dear Pete, all Lynks and spouses, and offspring,

I still remember all the Super Bowl parties at your house. Judy was such a sweet, wonderful woman with such a beautiful smile . I am so grateful to have met her.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Judy's family.

May she rest in eternal peace.

God Bless.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I had the pleasure of working with Judy at Hewitt, including a stint together on the Executive Committee. He sparkling eyes, beautiful smile, quick and engaging mind, and overall effervescence, energy and charm, will stay with me always. Life was a little brighter just to be in her presence. She will be deeply missed, but her impact remains.

With deepest sympathy, Judy Lindquist

Pete: When we last saw Judy it was at the Hewitt Reunion in September '09. She was her usual vibrant self. She rushed up to me and Ginny and embraced us both. She was so special and I am so priveleged to have been one of her partners at H.A. Ginny joins me in extending our deepest sympathy.

Pete,
I have always thought Judy and you made a wonderful couple. She was fortunate to have found you, and you, most certianly to have found her.
Bright, cheerful, insightful and caring....you had the real deal.
My heartfelt condolences to you for your loss of your wife and partner in life.
Fondly,

Dear Pete,
You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of loss.
May sweet memories fill your heart.

I am devestated to learn of Judy's death! She was so brilliant and so beautiful and I will never forget what an incredible person she was. I had the honor of spending four years at Marywood Academy with her. She was a star basketball player; I was head cheerleader. She was our class valedictorian; I was Student Council President.. The last time I saw her was 13 years ago at our class of 1967 30th class reunion. When I walked into the party, no one except Judy recognized me: "It's Lori O'Connell, everyone!" she said, and to prove it, she abruptly pushed-back my bangs to reveal my thick, bushy eyebrows, my most notable identifying characteristic and the one about which Judy used to tease me in school. I am tearing-up at the thought of her loss. I pray God holds her tightly for all eternity. She was truly loved by so many.

Peter, I feel fortunate to have known Judy through her work at CDH. I respected her wealth of professional experience and leadership, but I enjoyed her vitality, ever present smile, and engaging personality. The room was always brighter in her presence. The conversation was always livelier when she spoke. Her warmth was felt by all around her. She was a truly genuine person who would always make you feel special.

With deepest sympathies,

In this difficult time, may God strengthen you and fill your heart with the peace that only he can give you. We are sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers. You have our deepest sympathy.
Love
Jerry and Linda Kooistra

Our hearts a broken but we are thankful for memories of New Year's retreats at Secession.........martini's , fire pit talks at the Hole , and so so many laughs.

We are comforted in the knowledge that Judy is in the Kingdom and she will always be with us.

We love you Pete

It is like a VERY BRIGHT LIGHT is gone. I truly enjoyed working with Judy on a number of projects during the late 80's and 90's at Allstate. She is a true delight. I also believe she beat me on the golf course. So talented, in so many ways. I am truly sadden. My prayer and thoughts are with her family, and ALL of her friends. Tears and sorrow is the price we pay for friendship and love.

Always upbeat, great smile, loved being with her, you always felt special. She was also one of the guys.

When the gardner goes to the garden to pick his flowers, he always chooses the BEST ones First.

God please provide your presence , strength, comfort, and hope to Pete and All who loved Her.

Andy

Judy was a light in my life and I know in the life of others. Everywhere she went, she brought insight, thoughtfulness, and most of all, joy. She will be deeply missed.
