RAPID CITY | On Feb. 9, 2014, at her home in Rapid City, our Mother and Grandmother, Mary A. Judson, went to live with the angels. She went with no regrets, with gentleness, with eager anticipation, simply drifting away to be with her best friend and love of her life, Fritz Judson, with whom she spent 38 wonderful and tender years in marriage. She was a woman known to many to be caring and compassionate, loving and kind, and full of God's wisdom. Mary came from a humble background on the prairies of western South Dakota. Born in Herrick and graduating from high school in White River. Growing up during the depression and the "dirty thirty's," she could recount many tales of the dust bowl years and the difficult times all experienced during that era. Mary was always proud of the college degree earned from Rapid City Business College in 1940. She lost her father, Conley Williamson to cancer in 1944, and her mother, Gladys (Young) Williamson to natural causes in 1979. Her experiences shaped her life for evermore. She was an only child and perhaps as a result she had eight children, six of which are living. They are Connie (Myron) Nelson, Mary Ann (Brooks) Benson, James (Mary) Scull, Gladys (Brad) Bradfield, Robert (Sharla) Scull, all of Rapid City, and Billy Joe (Jan) Scull of Des Moines, Iowa, and a much loved stepdaughter, Wanda (Carl) Nafzger of Olton, TX. She was preceded by two children, Bonnie Scull at the age of 18 and Cecil Edward Scull at birth. She was a devoted, loving, and caring Mother. She was always supportive and proud of all her kids. She was a wonderful Grandmother, filled with love and happiness and greatly enjoyed seeing all her Grandchildren. Mary felt very blessed to have 16 Grandkids, 30 Great-Grandkids and two Great-Great-Grandkids. Her greatest loss was when Grandson Dirk Scull, son of Billy and Jan Scull passed at 18 years to complications during a heart transplant. She shared her heartfelt love equally with all the Grandkids and was a wonderful "Grandma Mary" to all. Into her 90's, she still loved to get on the floor and play games with her Grandkids. They all felt she was a pretty special Grandma. Mary was an active participant to Al Anon for nearly half her life. A kindred spirit to many. Always willing to lend a hand, kind words, or just to listen to those challenged on life's road. She was intelligent and wise to the ways of the world and shared her heartfelt compassion with those facing difficult times and challenging situations. She was an Angel to many in this lifetime. She will be missed by many who loved her so. It was an honor for all of us to have shared her life. She is now truly our Angel in Heaven ministering to us all. Visitation will be from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, at Osheim & Schmidt Funeral Home. Services will be at 11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 14, at Calvary Lutheran Church, 5311 Sheridan Lake Road, with the Rev. Herb Cleveland officiating. Interment will be at Mountain View Cemetery. A memorial has been established to the Alano Society in Rapid City.
