Duane, BervaDawn and families, we were so very saddened to receive the news of Judy,s passing away. We did watch the service online on Tuesday. What a lovely tribute to your Mom and grandmother. Duane, we really related to your remarks about your time in Fort Macleod. As we remember, we were some of those who played cards with your Mom and Dad. I think you came out to the farm or we went into town at least 2 or 3 times a week to have a game of Rook and that is not an exaggeration. I remember your Mom introducing us to Mexican food - it was so hot and your Dad had such a laugh as he watched our reaction as we thought we were going to burn up for sure. Even at that it was very tasty. Your Mom taught me piano lessons and she was so encouraging and patient. She even talked me into doing Royal Conservative exams and at the time you moved I was preparing to do Grade 8. We have so many fond memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. With love, Bob And Eleanor

We were so sorry to hear of your mom's sudden passing!
Your mom was a class act and one of the most elegant women i have ever known. I was unable to attend the service today but was able to watch it live in our home!
It was a beautiful service! I know your mom was never as proud of her children and grandchildren as she was today! Your loving tributes to your mom touched my heart!
Please know that you have been (and will continue to be) in our thoughts and prayers

Judy stayed in our home in Calgary while at nurses training. After she was married she and Greg would often drop by and always brought a bucket of chicken, much to my moms (Elizabeth Hiebert) delight. After watching the service I wish I had known Judy better. You are all so blessed to have had her. The service was a most beautiful tribute to her life. Thank you for live streaming it. May the peace of God wash over you all.

Hi Duane and family, I have very fond memories of your Mom and Dad and would like to extend my sadness of the passing of your Mom. You will now continue a legacy that was started in a small town south of Lethbridge in a river bottom. It has been awhile since I've seen you and repaired some equipment for you and your Dad. I will pray for you and your family as you try to get through this time in your life. My prayer is that God will comfort you and your family in this time of grieving. Cherish all the memories.

To the family of Judy...we are so saddened by your loss. Both parents, and too young. We are all orphaned sometime in our lives, but it always sad. We have always been proud to be linked to your family, thru the little town of Rosemary, where Judy and Greg were raised. Many of the famous Kesler stock grazed our land for a few years and we got to know Duane and his dad better. May you feel of our love and the love of your friends and family, now and well into the future.

I was a very lucky girl to have Greg and Judy moved next door to our family ranch in Helena when I was 9. From day one they always treated me like family. Over the years, I thoroughly enjoyed her calls, texts, lunches, and getting to help at the rodeos. I cherished every moment I got to spend with her and wish I had a million more moments. She will be so very missed. Deepest condolences to Duane, Margo, Berva Dawn, Kurtis, and Chase and rest of her family and friends.

I was shocked and sad to hear of your Moms passing. We all had so many great memories together. She was my best accompanist when I sang! Also a great piano teacher to Richard, Kevin and Heather. We loved doing chores when you all went to Edmonton or Vegas for Rodeo finals. You were friends to my oldest sons Tim and Chris and many great memories are in my heart! Your mom was a great woman and I'm sure will be greatly missed by you and your families. May all the great memories you have of her help you through this sad time in your lives. Much love Linda Hillmer

I will now hold our last conversation we had at the PRCA convention this past December about family, kids and life dearly to my heart. Prayers to all of her family and friends.

May the peace of grace, acceptance of ever lasting life in your heart and your mind comfort you on the sudden passing of your Mother / Grandmother. Judy was an inspiration to many and I always marveled at her grace and how great she looked regardless of the weather and the challenges before her. I admired how hard she worked in and out of the Family Rodeo business. In my opinion Judy was the heart and backbone support, especially since your Dad, Greg's passing in 2016. Judy was talented, a leader of women and a fierce fighter of family values for everyone in the Communities she passed through enroute to the next Rodeo. So now as you prepare to say a formal goodbye to your Mom - please remember her words of wisdom and deeds of inspiration will live on forever more. Judy Kesler was admired, will be remembered and certainly will be missed by many here on earth. Peace, Love and Laughter for the good times - you can hold in your heart & mind.

It's with great sadness to hear about Judy's passing. She was an incredible woman with such a huge heart. Even though I didn't get to spend a lot of time with her throughout the years, but the time I did get to spend with her meant the world to me. She's been very special to me and I will miss her immensely. She has made a big impact in my life and I will forever be grateful. I'm so very sorry your loss. Thinking of you all Duane, Berva-Dawn, Margo, Kurtis & Chase. Love Nicole Reader
