Judy Preston

Born 8-04-1948, entered into Paradise on 01-26-2011. I survived breast cancer, but, for reasons known only to God, I acquired Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a vicious robber of skills, muscle, independence, dignity and finally, of life. I was preceded in death by my mother, May Zimmerman and sister, Deneice Webb. I loved God, my life and my family. I enjoyed traveling, cooking & baking and many other things.

Surviving to keep my legacy alive is my beautiful family; soul mate, primary care giver and husband of 44 years, Robert; wonderful daughters & sons-in-law, Kimberly & John Marton and Phyllis & Justin McLellan; dear father, William Zimmerman; the son I never had, my nephew, Mike Preston (Laura May, Dakota) and special great niece, my huggy bug, Kelsey Preston. Also surviving are my brothers, William Zimmerman, Jr. (Pam); David Zimmerman (now LT Mia Tioli) and sisters, Mary (Bill) Pfaff; Lois (Dennis) Ross; Brucette (Richard) Regan; sister-in-law, Jackie Kowalski; and their families, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends; all special to me.

Services will be at 11:00 A.M. Monday, January 31, 2011 at Tiffany Funeral Home, 3232 W. Saginaw, Lansing, Lori O?Dea officiating, with visitation one-hour prior to service and followed by interment at Delta Center Cemetery. Visitation will be from 2-4 and 6-8 P.M. Sunday at Tiffany Funeral Home. Friends may visit and sign the online guestbook at www.tiffanyfuneralhome.com.

We have mourned this disease long enough; dwell on the good times and get on

with your lives. Love,

JP
