Judith Helen Brenner, age 82, of Cheboygan passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her beloved family on Saturday, April 26th, 2025.

She was born in Petoskey to Arnold and Helen (Jarvis) Vermilya on February 1st, 1943.

Full of heart and love, Judy had a passion for baking, cooking, fishing in Valdez, AK, and ultimately spending time with her family and loved ones.  Judy was unlike any other, always welcoming, always supporting and always so very proud of the ones she called her own.  Her family was blessed by her many life lessons and how she had a way of picking you up, dusting you off, and turning you once more in the right direction.  A testament to true love, motherhood and wisdom.  Judy made this world a better place.

Judy is survived by her beloved husband, Leo David Brenner, who knew she was the one from the first day they met; son David (Shelley) Brenner; daughter Janice Bent; four grandchildren who meant the world to her Hunter, Taylor, Mia and Eva; and four siblings Shirley Braun, Jackie (Chane) Grazino, Arnold (Julia) Vermilya and Patricia (Tom) Schell.

Judy will be missed, but most of all, she will be loved.
