Judy

Momper

Age 84, of Wilmington, Illinois, and formerly of Morris, Illinois, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday morning, November 14, 2026, while surrounded by the love and comfort of her family at home.

Born August 13, 1942, in Oak Lawn, Illinois, Judith Ann was a daughter of George Fred and Elizabeth (Watson) Kresse. She was raised in Morris and graduated from Morris Community High School with the Class of 1962.

On September 21, 1963, Judy married Don Momper in Morris, and together they made their home in Wilmington, where they raised their family and built a life centered on faith, love, and devotion to one another.

Judy was a woman of deep and unwavering faith who loved the Lord with her whole heart. She attended Christian Life Assembly in Diamond, and her relationship with God was the foundation upon which she lived her life. A devoted prayer warrior, Judy believed wholeheartedly in the power of prayer and faithfully lifted up her family, friends, and others in need. Her faith was not simply something she professed, but something she lived each day through her kindness, generosity, and willingness to help others.

Above all, Judy treasured her role as a wife, mother, and homemaker. Her family was always her first priority, and she took great pride in creating a warm and welcoming home. An exceptional cook, Judy found joy in preparing meals and gathering everyone around the table, where good food, conversation, and time together created lasting memories. Family reunions were especially meaningful to her, offering cherished opportunities to reconnect and celebrate the bonds of family.

Judy also possessed a creative spirit and enjoyed drawing, painting, crafting, sewing, and crocheting. She found both inspiration and fulfillment in Bible study and valued the many friendships she nurtured throughout her life. Whether sharing her talents, offering a helping hand, or remembering someone in prayer, Judy had a genuine heart for others and gave freely of herself.

Judy's life was a beautiful reflection of the faith she held dear and the family she so deeply cherished. She will be remembered for her steadfast devotion to the Lord, her generous and caring nature, and the countless ways she made those around her feel loved and valued. Though she will be dearly missed, her family takes comfort in the promise of her faith and the knowledge that she is now at peace in the presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Survivors include her loving husband of 63 years, Don; three children: Todd (Holly) Momper of St. Mary’s, Georgia and Connie Hubbard and Jeff (Janine) Momper, both of Wilmington; grandchildren: Joshua (Brittany) Hubbard, Tanner (Sarah) Baggett, Aimee (Zebulon) Crews, Michael (Arica) Hubbard, Leslie (Eric) Kellstadt, Christine Hubbard, Jake Momper (fiance' - Jaycie Cummins), Benjamin (Chloe) Momper and Gabe Momper; great grandchildren: Isaac, Ian, Calvin, Lincoln, Zander, Cameron and Amelia, Zayden and Kaladin, Ophelia, Rosalynn and Ariel; one sister, Betty (George) Imhauser of Kankakee and one sister-in-law, Jan Kresse of Morris, as well as numerous nieces and nephews that were loved.
