Philip M. Judkins Obituary

Born to Eternal Life on Thursday, March 2, 2023 at the age of 91. He was born on November 18, 1931 to Elsie (née Armstrong) and Edward Judkins in the farming community of Seymour Township of Darlington, WI.

Phil belonged to the 4H and was an active FFA (Future Farmers of America) member. He graduated from Darlington High School in 1949. Phil married Rosemary Lange in 1953.

They relocated to Oconomowoc in 1962 and Phil worked as an electrician for Derge and Sons Electric until his retirement in 1997.

Phil was very proud of his Irish heritage. He also loved vintage tractors and farm machinery. He loved watching sports: Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, and the Brewers. He enjoyed playing sheepshead and euchre.
