Judy was born Nov. 5, 1951, to Robert and Agnes Bielejeski in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She graduated from Vermillion CC and Babbitt High School after attending the Foley school district when younger. Judy married Steven Huset May 10, 1975, and they lived in the Babbitt area before moving to Gilman in 1985.
Judy was known for many activities and traits. For her entire life, she was known for talking (and telling you what she thought), was one of the early adopters of the “Minnesota goodbye” and was always energized around people. Judy worked anywhere these qualities were valuable, including Fast Gas and Blomberg’s in Babbitt, K&K, SuperAmerica, Casey’s in Foley, and the municipal liquor store and VFW in Gilman. She also spent one-term as mayor for the city of Gilman.
Judy and Steve were also a formidable bowling couple in both Babbitt and Foley, with her average reaching into the 160s. There were many hunting and fishing trips, along with nights playing cards or just socializing. No matter what, you could find Judy around the action.
In her later years, grandkids arrived and Judy grew older, you could not stop her from driving to hockey, baseball, basketball and volleyball games or cheering at her computer screen while watching games. She even found Facebook and smart phones to keep in touch with friends and family.
Judy is survived by daughter, Chana (Derek) Klande of Sartell; son, Chad (Regina) Huset of Bloomington; and grandchildren, Gabe, Brayden, Ella, Parker, Veronica and Josie. She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and siblings, Linda Pylka, Roderick “Rocky” Bielejeski, and David Bielejeski.
