Judy Noreen Labahn was born on July 10, 1941 at Burke, South Dakota to Vernon and Iola (Ragan) Labahn.  She graduated from Gregory High School in 1959.  After graduating, she worked several secretarial jobs, including at the South Dakota Farmers Union in Fairfax, South Dakota.

Judy met Verlon Hoffman at a dance in Winner, South Dakota and the couple later married on October 9, 1965 at St. John's Lutheran Church in Gregory, South Dakota.  The couple made their home in Butte, Nebraska.  To this union, one son was born, Jason.

Judy worked for Northern Propane for a time and as a secretary for the Butte High School.  Later, she worked for many years in the laundry department for the Butte Nursing Home before retiring in 2003.

Judy was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Butte.  She was an avid reader. Judy liked to bowl, embroider, doing crossword puzzles, and watching Jeopardy.  She was an excellent cook and some of Jason's fondest memories will be the time spent with his mother in her kitchen canning.
