Judith Kittleson

Stoughton - Judith Mary Kittleson (Petty), age 72, of Stoughton, peacefully passed away on Thursday, August 18, 2016, at Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. She was born on April 21, 1944 in Stoughton, the daughter of Ben and Alice (Hildebrandt) Petty. She married the one love of her life, DuWayne Kittleson, on September 12, 1964, in Stoughton. Her strong Christian faith brought her comfort throughout her life.

Judy graduated from Stoughton High School in 1962. She went on to study at the Milwaukee School of Real Estate and became a real estate broker in the Stoughton area for over forty years with Petty Realty and Kittleson Enterprises. Prior to this, she worked as a medical assistant.

Judy and her husband were avid antique collectors and enjoyed the friends they made during this time. She had a particular fondness for the friendships established in the search of beanie babies.

In recent years, Judy enjoyed spending winters at her home near Sanibel Island where she enjoyed shelling. During the summer many long weekends were spent at their cabin near Minocqua, Wisconsin, to fish and relax. These times were even more special when her children and grandchildren joined her.

Survivors include: Devoted husband of 52 years, DuWayne; loving children LeAnne Andersen of Oakland, California and Dan (Jerri) Kittleson of Stoughton; adored grandchildren Christian and Benjamin Andersen and Stephanie Kittleson; and siblings Barb (Dave) Anderson and Donald Petty. She is also survived by many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Judy was preceded in death by her parents, Ben and Alice Petty.
