August 16, 1942 - December 27, 2025
Judith “Judy” Nybeck age 83 of Minneapolis, MN passed away in the early morning hours on Saturday, December 27, due to complications from Parkinson’s Disease.
Judy was a loving wife, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was a devout Lutheran and lifelong member of Mt. Olivet Lutheran Church in South Minneapolis. She had a dry sense of humor, even in the face of much sorrow after losing her husband Charles to ALS in 2007. Judy and Charles were both dog lovers, and had 4 of their own throughout their years together. Judy’s last dog, Lilly, is a large and beautiful Collie, who served as her service dog after receiving her from Can Do Canines.
Judy is preceded in death by her husband, Charles Nybeck; and parents, Clifford and Irene Carlson.
She is survived by her loving daughter Monica (Mike) Vogt; beloved grandchildren, Cole and Olivia; sister, Karen (Charles) Henneman; brother, Bruce Carlson; 2 nieces and 2 nephews; and her good and faithful friend of 65 years, Linda Winter.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to ALS-MN, Parkinson’s Foundation, Can Do Canines, or the Animal Humane Society.

I was very sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. I worked with Judy many years ago, when she hired me at First Minnesota Mortgage Company. I remember her dry sense of humor and how fun she was to work with. I am grateful for the opportunity to have known her. My sincere condolences to her family.
So very sad to hear of Judy’s passing. I enjoyed working with her and seeing her at our regular brunch get togethers over the years. She always made me laugh with her sense of humor. My sincere condolences to Monica and her family during this very difficult time.

I just heard of Judy’s passing today when I ran into a former neighbor. My condolences to her family and survivors. Judy and I spent some time together watching the news and Jeopardy and had some laughs and visits at her last home. Lilly was such a good companion and help to Judy.
Judy would not be surprised to know I had just left for another long warm weather cruise vacation the day before her Celebration of Life. I am sorry I missed it.
