Judith R. Gage

No Services planned until spring.

Our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother, Judith “Judy”Gage, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Sunday morning, December 8th at Altru Hospital in Grand Forks, ND. She was 86 years young.

Judy was born in Edmore, ND to Arthur and Judith Twaddle on April 4th, 1938. Raised in a large family with 8 siblings – 3 single births and 3 sets of twins – they learned a good work ethic at a young age. She attended school in Edmore until the fall of 1952 when the family moved to Langdon. As a young girl, Judy worked at her parents Café, the Green Mill on main street in Langdon. There, she met and fell in love with Eugene Gage. They were united in marriage on July 15th, 1954. They farmed in the Calvin area until the fall of 1993 when they retired to Devils Lake in a home they built themselves. Gene passed in 2013 and Judy later purchased a townhome in Devils Lake where she has resided since. 

Judy is survived by sons: Del (Bev), Jeff (Donna), Greg and Barry (Denice). Grandchildren: Tracy (LeeAnn) Gage, Jami Gage (Ryan Griggs), Katie Gage (Mike Kortie), Jenna (Ryan) Reno, Travis (Alexa) Gage, Lucas (Yajaira Lechuga) Gage, Deelia Guite, Corban (Erykka) Gage, Wyatt Gage, Chad Gage, Joey Gage – 17 great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren – and siblings Robert Twaddle, Rick Twaddle, Rita Nicholas, Jim Twaddle and Tom Twaddle. She was preceded in death by her husband Gene, parents Art and Judy Twaddle, grandchild Kami Gage, siblings Peggy Balek, Barb Twaddle and her twin sister Ardi Aiken. 

Judy was known for her kind heart and great personality. She was the heart and soul of our family, and we will miss her dearly. At Judy’s request, there will be no services, there will be a burial in the spring at Corinthian Cemetery in Calvin next to her husband. Please share memories of Judy and raise a glass in celebration of her journey home.
