Judith "Judy" Ann Ernster, 80, of Holy Cross and formerly of Cedarburg, entered into eternal rest peacefully at her home on Monday, December 8, 2025. The beloved daughter of Roy and Delores (Lenhoff) Klauk, Judy was born in 1945. She married her husband, Donald Ernster, on November 9, 1991, in Mequon.

Judy was a woman of dedication and spirit. She was the proud first employee of Ellsworth Adhesives in Germantown, where she built a remarkable 44-year career before retiring in 2020. After hanging up her work hat, she loved spending her retirement behind the wheel, cruising in her cherished red Ford Mustang.

Per Judy's wishes, no formal services will be held. The family will celebrate her life privately. In lieu of flowers memorials can be made in Judy's honor to the MACC Fund or the American Cancer Society.
