OBITUARIES
Judith Ann Leines
It is with great sadness that the family of Judith Ann Leines, long-term resident of
Bella Vista, announce her passing on October 11,
2018, in Brigham
City, Utah.
Judy is finally at peace and her memories returned, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s.
Judy was born April 1, 1942, in Pena, Ill., to George Orville and Helen Wyatt, growing up in the Lake Okoboji area of Iowa. As an adult, she lived in Blue Earth and Mankato, Minn., raising her family, and eventually moved to Bella Vista in 1989. Judy worked for many years at Vacation Rentals in Bella Vista and in her free time loved to garden, golf, travel and drink margaritas with her many friends. After her disease advanced, she moved into a wonderful memory care facility in Utah to be near her daughter.
Judy will be forever remembered by her children, Doug (Lisa) Miles, Donna (Joe) Miles Savage and Nicole (Mike) Pierce; along with her brother, Larry (Nancy) Wyatt; her seven grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Duane Leines; her parents; and a daughter, Denise.
