Judith "Judy" Lehrman Obituary (1951 - 2020)

Judith “Judy” Lehrman, age 69, passed away on August 30 from complications due to COVID-19. She was a loving, sweet soul who adored her family. She loved music and sing-a-longs, spending time at her workplace Rise, Inc. and her caregivers at her group home in Bloomington. She was always the last one to leave our family get togethers; she was having too much fun! Her passion was eating a good meal. She enjoyed her outings to McDonalds and Perkins and sipping her coffee and Dr Pepper. Her funny sayings always made us laugh. We will greatly miss her infectious smile. She was preceded in death by her parents Morris and Sarah Lehrman and is survived by her siblings Nancy Lehrman (Lester Cannon), Sharon Lehrman (Steven Ptaszek), Brad Lehrman (Karee), Robert Lehrman (Julie) and her loving nieces and nephews. The family truly appreciates the care and support she received over the years from Rise, Inc.; Connections, Inc. especially Andrea Taylor-DeBeltz, Jim Fortin, Ephraim Bailey, and Anne Bishop and the caring staff at M Health Fairview Southdale who selflessly cared for her in her final days. Due to pandemic restrictions, the family will hold a Zoom funeral 3:00 pm CDT TUESDAY, September 1.
