Community leader dies

By CATHERINE IDZERDA ( Contact ) Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 5:44 p.m.

Judi Kneece, long-time manager of JATV, died Sunday at the University of Minnesota Hospital. Kneece, who has been battling leukemia since 2007, was at the hospital for a stem transplant trial.

Kneece was active in a variety of community organizations including the YWCA, ECHO and the American Association of University Women.

Last week, Kneece was inducted into the Rock County Hall of Fame for her community service.

Judith was only 63 years old, but she sure made the most of her life.
It's a bummer everytime we lose a good one.

I am shocked. What a sweetheart of a lady. Nothing but class written all over her. I have only had the pleasure of knowing her for 3 years, but immediately knew she was a super great lady. I became friends with her and found she stopped at nothing to help you. I will so surely miss her. We have lost a super communtiy leader.
