Judith Ann (Selleck) Piper, 80, passed away on Monday, June 21, 2021, at Essentia Miller Dwan Hospital in Duluth, surrounded by her children. She entered the presence of Jesus and joined all who were waiting for her. Judie was a child of God and saw the love and gifts in everyone she met.

Judith, "Judie" as most called her, was a lifelong resident of Superior. She was born on May 16, 1941, to Margaret (Moran) and James Selleck. She graduated from Superior Central High School with the class of 1959 and attended WITC. In addition to raising 4 wonderful children, she worked as a bookkeeper for many local businesses.

Judie was a member of and volunteered her time and talents to the Women of the Moose and Cathedral of Christ the King Catholic Church. She was the Woman of the Moose Senior Regent from 2007-2008 and was awarded the WOTM International co-worker of the year in 2003. She also started the Northern Lights 4H Club in Superior.

Family was the most important thing to her. She loved to host celebrations and decorate for the holidays. Judie enjoyed baking sweet treats for her family, friends, and neighbors and was always quick to offer food and great conversation to everyone she met. She was happiest spending time with family, laughing and playing cribbage together.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Margaret and James Selleck; brother, James Selleck; infant sister, Susan Rae; husband, Fred Piper; and best friend, Sena Golat.

Judie's legacy of faith, family, and love will be carried on by her four children, Corina (Jerry) Kolanczyk, Dana (Mike) Kiesner, Dale (Tina) Piper, and Cara (Brian) Curry; her 10 grandchildren, Derek (Chelsea), Jack (Taylor), Trentin, Stephen, Rachael, Abby, Jacob, Alayna, Chuck, and Tyler; 3 great-grandchildren, Chloe, Madelyn, and Quinn; her brother, David (Jolene) Selleck; many extended family and friends, and her beloved dog, Mugzie.

Visitation will be on Thursday, July 1, from 10:00 a.m. until the 11:00 a.m. Mass of Christian Burial at Cathedral of Christ the King Church with Rev. Fr. Andrew Ricci as celebrant. Bright and colorful attire is welcome. Burial will be at Greenwood Cemetery following the service.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be given to Mooseheart at Moosecharities.org.

The family would like to thank Essentia and Miller Dwan Hospice care teams for their compassionate care of Judie.
