Judy A. Oelklaus

Judy Ann Oelklaus (nee Irwin), of Saint Charles, MO, passed away Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 81. Beloved wife of Edward "Eddie" Oelklaus; cherished daughter of the late Kenneth and Margaret Irwin; devoted mother of Janet Oelklaus; loving grandmother of August Truesdale; dear sister of Kenneth Irwin, the late Robert Irwin, and the late Theresa Davis; and sister-in-law of Alicia Bange, and three in-laws who also preceded her in death, Thomas Oelklaus, Richard Oelklaus, and Margaret Betsinger.

Judy shared 63 wonderful years of marriage with her beloved husband, Eddie, and together they served as greeters at St. Peters Catholic Church, where her strong faith was a guiding force in her life. Judy was a kindhearted and devoted mother, a constant presence for her family, and someone who found joy in giving—whether through thoughtful gifts, handwritten cards, or simple acts of kindness. She had a love for mystery novels and adored her dogs, Chipper and Cricket. She and Eddie enjoyed regular trips to Maui, Hawaii, creating memories that brought them happiness for years. Judy was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
