Judith Elaine Wilke, 86, of Blue Springs, Missouri, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 11, 2026.

She was born on April 14, 1939, in California, Missouri, to Virgil and Lucille (Butcher) Miller. Judith carried with her a deep appreciation for her roots, taking great pride in her Grain Valley heritage and the values instilled in her from a young age.

Judith devoted her life to her family. She took great pride in being a stay-at-home mother, cherishing the years she spent raising her children and creating a loving home. Her greatest joy was being beside her beloved husband, Bill, sharing life’s moments together with steadfast love and devotion. Their bond was a guiding light throughout her life.

Her faith was central to who she was. Judith loved the Lord and lived her life with quiet strength, grace, and compassion. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, family, and enduring love.

Judith was preceded in death by her husband, William Lee Wilke.

She is lovingly remembered by her sons, Brian (Shelly) Wilke and Jeffrey (Sheila) Wilke; her grandchildren, Sara (Michael) Schmitz, Tyler (Sarah) Wilke, Janean (Vince) Galate, Kelsey (Brian) Mitchell, and Lanae (Wilson) Gaschler; and 15 cherished great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother, Ron (Lori) Martin, along with several nieces and nephews who will miss her dearly.

Judith’s life was a testament to devotion—to her husband, her children, her faith, and her family. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
