Judy was born March 15, 1953, in Havre to
Samuel and Thelma (Williams) Kampf.
She was raised and educated in Havre
graduating from Havre High School in 1971. Shortly after, she and Ed Goodian
married May 22, 1971, in Havre. The couple moved to Great Falls for the first
two years, where Judy worked at a bank, before moving home to run the family
farm in the Box Elder area. Judy and Ed had three children, who were her entire
world. Judy worked at First Security Bank in Havre for a few years and also at
Yvonnes Dress Shop. However, most of her time was spent working on the farm
with her husband, Ed, and raising their beautiful children. Judy was the mom of
all moms and was very active in her childrens activities. She made sure she
was present for every event they participated in. Even if it included out of
town games, she was always there. She had a warm heart and acted as the
caregiver to all of the other kids whose parents werent able to attend their
events. She always gave her time to her family, making sure they were safe and
well taken care of. Judy was very knowledgeable and had an impact on everything
and everyone she touched. She helped with things like writing a grant with the
Fish Wildlife & Parks Department to help with the operation of the Havre
Trap Club and also helped to coordinate two NRA banquets to help raise funds
for the Havre Trap Club. Whatever needed to be done, Judy would put her heart
and soul into accomplishing the task. She was currently planning her daughter
Ellis wedding, which is to be held this April in Sacramento, Calif. Judy loved
playing cards, especially pinochle where she could sit and play for hours or
even days never tiring of the game. She enjoyed working out, listening to her
iPod, walking, road trips in her Escalade, eating Chinese food and purchasing
purses and watches, of which she had a large collection. She enjoyed watching
all types of sports on television and she was a huge Denver Nuggets fan. Her
recent enjoyment was the Nintendo Wii that she got for Christmas. Judy also
enjoyed the baking of the Gildford Colony, where she purchased bread and buns
for many years. Judy and Ed were always together, whether it was traveling
together to meetings, to see their children or to just go out for dinner, you
rarely saw one without the other. Judy was a friendly person who could enter a
room of strangers and leave with many of them being her friends. She was a
devoted wife, mother and friend who never asked for much and had a lot of
compassion and love to give. Being such a caring and forgiving person, she
always put others concerns before her own. She truly will be missed.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
Judy is survived by her husband of 37 years, Ed Goodian of Box Elder; children,
Arron Goodian of Kremlin, Elli (Mike Schroeder) of Sacramento, Ashley (Neal
Levang) of Helena; brothers, Kenny Kampf of Havre, Bobby Kampf, Larry Kampf and
Donald Kampf, all of Great Falls; sister, Linda Sterner of Havre; half-brother,
Sammy Kampf of Winnemucca, Nev.; mother-in-law, Margaret Swick of Havre, and
several nieces, nephews and the many close friends she shared her life with.
Services and arrangements have been
entrusted to Holland & Bonine Funeral Home.
