Judith Ann Rademacher's Obituary
Judith Ann (Eis) Rademacher, 85, of The Villages, Florida, passed away on November 30, 2025, at her home in The Villages, Florida, surrounded by her loving family. Judy was born on January 1, 1940, in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, to her parents, Harold Eis and Evelyn (Petri) Eis.
She met the love of her life, Gregory, while working for Braniff International Airways in Chicago, and they were married on May 14, 1960, at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Airline life meant many moves over the years. They were blessed with four children whom they raised in Minnesota, Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Missouri, with multiple moves to and from Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Judy and Greg moved to The Villages 25 years ago from Rochester, Minnesota. Before that, they were “snowbirds,” enjoying the best of both Florida and Minnesota. They were faithful members of St. Timothy Catholic Church of Lady Lake, Florida. Judy embraced the active lifestyle of her community and enjoyed golf, pickleball, bowling, bocce ball, and the Minnesota/Iowa Club. She even twirled the baton in The Villages Twirlers and Drum Corps. She also loved playing cards, dancing, and reading. When her children were younger, she was deeply involved with their activities.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 65 years, Greg Rademacher; her loving children: Jennie Popp and her husband Randy of Sun Prairie, WI, Jean Machen and her husband Jon of Lakeville, MN, Jerry Rademacher and his wife Shareen of Plymouth, MN, and Joe Rademacher and his wife Jane of Rochester, MN; three grandchildren: Mallory Zoglman and her husband Eric, Alex Popp, and Nicole Rademacher and her husband Kyle Koehler; two great grandchildren: Zander Zoglman and Paxton Zoglman; sisters: Marilyn Zahorik, Elaine Hallada and her husband Carl, and Geraldine Heran; sisters-in-law: Patricia Eis, and Barbara Eis; and Greg’s siblings: John Rademacher, Kathleen Lynch, Janine Peterson, Mike Rademacher, and Rita Yamashiro and her husband Jay; brother-in-law James Wicker; and many loving nieces and nephews.
