Judith Ann Peckenschneider was born on February 6, 1941, to Melvin and Hilda (Ehlers) Peckenschneider in Davenport, IA. Judy graduated from Durant High School in 1959, then went to work at First Trust and Savings Bank for many years. Before retiring she loved managing a Kwik Shop, where she was known as “Mama Z” to many people, especially a lot of UPS drivers who would frequent her store.

In 1961 she married John “Jack” Zindel. Although they later divorced, they remained friends until his passing in 1996.

In earlier years, she enjoyed bowling, puzzles, game shows, spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren, and being a member of Durant high School “59ers” Club.

Judy is survived by her sons, Lee (Kelly), Steve (Valerie) and Scott (Stacey); daughter, Jodi (Ken) Heaton; grandchildren, Brandon (Tasha), Tony (Michelle), Shai, Holly, and Stephanie (Kristopher) Knutson; great grandchildren, Carsen, Connor, Autumn, Kennedy, Leona, Rilee Jo, Libby Grace, and Charlie; and brother, Denny Peckenschneider.

She was preceded in death by her parents, and a brother, Melvin, Jr.

Mom would like to thank Terry Tank for all of his help and support and her breakfasts with cousin, Mike.
