Judith A. Mohling

Judith Anne Mohling, 82, of Cedar Falls, passed away at the Martin Suites at Western Home Community on Thursday, November 7, 2024. She was born in Cedar Falls on November 24, 1941, daughter of Harmon and Ethel (Burris) Boike.  Judith graduated from Dike High School with the Class of 1959.  She married Kent Lyle Van Schoyck in 1959, and he preceded her in death in early 1972.  On September 29, 1972, Judy was united in marriage to Gerald Dale Mohling in Story City.

Judy was preceded in death by her parents; her first husband, Kent; her infant brother, Curtis Boike; and sister, Marilyn Harris.  She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Jerry; children: Tracy Van Schoyck (Carl) Lieberwirth of Buchanan Dam, Texas, Randall (Sona) Van Schoyck of Hernando, Florida, Cliff (Tina) Mohling of Vinton, Teresa Mohling (Chuck) Bettis of Sahuarita, Arizona and Scott (Tamara) Van Schoyck of Riverside; 13 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; brother, James (Karol) Boike; sister, Dorothy Heine; and many extended family members, friends and neighbors.

Judy's Memorial Service will be at 10:30 am with Visitation one hour prior both at Bethlehem Lutheran Church on Tuesday, November 12, 2024. Private family burial at Elmwood Cemetery in Dike.  Memorials may be directed to Cedar Valley Hospice or to the Western Home Foundation Scholarship Fund.

Judith LOVED children and used this passion to provide a safe and warm environment for many children through the daycare she operated out of her home for 36 years.  Whether they were there for the whole day or one of "Judy's kids" who came after school, they had a home away from home at the Mohling house.  Judith's giving heart also led her to volunteer with elementary school students when she and Jerry wintered in Texas.  She enjoyed crossword puzzles and word searches and belonged to a card club that enjoyed time together outside of playing 500.  Judith was also active at Bethlehem Lutheran Church.  She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
