"Judie L. Gingras MARQUETTE – Judie L. Gingras, 62, of 716 Lost Creek Drive, Marquette, entered eternal life Wednesday evening, March 11, 2009, at Marquette General Hospital, in the loving and comforting care of her son and ICU staff. Born March 10, 1947 in Marquette, Judie was the daughter of Joseph A. and Jeanette E. (Dugas) Gingras and was a lifelong Marquette resident. Following graduation from the Bishop Baraga High School in 1965, she was employed at Getz’s Department Store in their bookkeeping department for a time before enrolling in cosmetology school at the Upper Peninsula Beauty Academy. Judie received her cosmetology license and then became a licensed instructor. She was employed at Style Setters before opening and operating Judie’s Beauty Salon, out of her home, on Genesee Street and later on Adams Street. Judie loved playing bingo and her enthusiasm led her to run a bingo tour bus to the Oneida Casino in Green Bay for three years. She then returned to Getz’s for a brief time before taking on more of a role as homemaker. When her mother suffered a debilitating stroke, Judie became her primary caregiver, and the two were often seen participating in bingo, going to the casino, shopping, and visiting local restaurants. Judie loved getting out of the house, for any reason. She enjoyed traveling, often making trips to Florida to visit her son and family when they lived there. She loved to shop and drive, both with reckless abandon, and treasured time spent with her grandchildren. She had an eye for design and detail and enjoyed creating numerous floral arrangements over the years. She was a member of the former St. John the Baptist Catholic Church and altar society and assisted with altar society activities and parish pasty sales that her mother, years earlier, had helped to establish. She was also a former eucharistic minister for St. Christopher Church at Marquette General Hospital, and was currently a member of St. Michael Catholic Church. Survivors include her son, Rusty (Lisa) Bowers of Marquette; her grandchildren, Joseph, Jack, and Jessica Bowers; and many cousins and friends. Judie was preceded in death by her parents. Friends may call at St. Michael Catholic Church on Tuesday, March 17, from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm when a Mass of Christian Burial will be offered with Rev. Msgr. Jed Patrick, pastor, as celebrant. A reception will be held in the St. Michael Parish Center. The Fassbender Funeral Home is serving the family."
