Judy Lewis

Sauk County Extension 4-H Secretary & Volunteer

In Memoriam

Judy Lewis played an essential support role in the formation of the Sauk County 4-H program and the Circus City 4-H Club. Judy’s love and admiration for youth never stopped from the day in 1964, right out of High School, she walked into the Sauk County Extension Office, and remained until her retirement.

Judy was the founding general leader of the Circus City 4-H Club in the 1960’s. At that time, she had a Boy’s Cooking Class as a 4-H Project. One of the member’s remembered being inspired by Judy’s attention to the ingredients and recipe. He referenced her precision in the ingredients, like her dedication to becoming a leader. When Judy reviewed record books and project summaries, she gave each youth positive feedback to inspire them and encourage their development.

She was a prominent organizer of the 4-H activities at the Sauk County Fair and was the go-to-person when questions or situations arose. Judy was a very generous person who was always there to help anyone in need and her impact on youth and adults was felt across the greater Sauk County area.

Civically, Judy will always be remembered for her generous involvement in Kid’s Ranch, Meals on Wheels, St. Clare Hospital, and the instrumental role she played in the establishment of the Baraboo Food Pantry.
