Judy Marie Pepin
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother Judy Marie Pepin passed away peacefully Sunday, May 25, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by the love of her family. Her strength and unwavering faith left an indelible mark on all who knew her.
Judy was the loving mother of three daughters, Becky Buckland-Lehman (Matthew Lehman), Lisa Bouche (Neil Bouche), and Annessa Goin (Jeremiah Goin). She was a proud grandmother to Brooke Lasecki (Ben Lasecki), Justin Miron (Olivia Miron), Joel Miron (Elli Paulsen), Celeste Miron (Sam McDonald), Emma Bouche, Harrison Bouche, Anna Bouche, Levi Goin, and Brielle Goin, as well as step-grandchildren Emma Lehman, Erin Byrnes, and John Lehman. Her legacy lives on in her great-grandchildren: Greyson, Wyatt, Kamden, Georgia, Sunny, Callie, Kailyn, and Chloe.
She shared many years of marriage and family life with her former husband, John Buckland, with whom she remained connected through the love they shared for their children and grandchildren.
Judy had a deep love for music — especially country and gospel — and found great joy in singing and playing her guitar. Above all, she was a woman of unwavering faith. A true prayer warrior, Judy’s strength was rooted in her belief in the power of prayer, and she covered her family in it daily.
Judy is survived by siblings Donna Buckland (Chuck Buckland), Larry Pepin (Cheryl Pepin), Dennis Pepin (Sandy Pepin), Bradley Pepin (Linda Pepin), as well as numerous nephews and nieces.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Ethel Pepin, siblings, Jacqueline Gardiner, Theresa Pepin, her newborn daughter, and other dear family members who welcomed her home with open arms.
A burial service and memorial gathering will be held to honor Judy’s life at Sacred Heart Cemetery in Schafer, Mich. on Saturday, May 31, 2 p.m.
