Judy Ellen Blouin (1940-2022)

Judy Ellen Lyne Blouin, 81, was called to her heavenly home on Feb. 17, 2022, at a private Hospice Healthcare home in Las Vegas, Nev.

Judy was born to Russell and Rosaline Lyne in Ellsworth on June 28, 1940. She attended Ellsworth schools and worked for many years for her Aunt Charlotte’s Cafe, where she met the love of her life.

Judy and Airman Arthur F. Blouin of New Bedford, Mass., stationed at the Smoky Hill A.F.B., Salina, were united in marriage on Sept. 8, 1957. They shared almost 63 years together. Of this union were three children born, Pat, Butch and Michael.

Judy loved working as a library aide for 19 years at Clark County Elementary School. She was most proud of the many years of teaching Sunday school at the College Park Baptist Church in Las Vegas. Judy was a wonderful loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend. God, faith, love and her family were her compass in life and if you knew her, she was a reflection of all these.

Judy is survived by her children, Patricia (Bill) Schmitt, Michael Blouin of Henderson, Nev. and Arthur F. (Margaret) Blouin of Las Vegas; grandchildren, Russell (Michelle) Schmitt of Henderson, William (Kara) Schmitt of Lake Havasu, Ariz., Mandy (Katie) Blouin, Spencer (Kaitlyn) Blouin of Las Vegas, and Katelynn (David) Bower of Henderson; great-grandchildren, Dawson, Kennedy, Taylor, Brodie Schmitt and Luke Bower; brother, Donald Lyne; sisters, Jan Prochaska, Joyce Webb, Gloria Marez and Carol (Lloyd) Kottman, all of Ellsworth, Bert Bontz of North Pekin, Ill., and many nieces, nephews, cousins and an aunt, Jolene Schultz of Kanopolis.
