Racine – Judy Ellen Gillett, age 75, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, June 13, 2019 at Ascension All Saints Hospital from complications following a routine colonoscopy performed at Aurora in Kenosha.
Judy was born in Presque Isle, Maine on March 23, 1944 to the late Fred D. and Catherine E. (nee: Cote) Pelkey. On July 16, 1980, she was united in marriage with Daniel Lawson Gillett, who preceded her in death on December 3, 2008. With a profound and tireless work ethic, Judy was an accomplished business entrepreneur. She was a faithful servant of Jehovah’s Witnesses and was passionate in the ministry of sharing the Kingdom news. Among her interests, Judy was extremely crafty and quite the talented artist. She was also known to spoil her Boston Terrier canine companions. Above all, Judy will be remembered for her sweet personality, infectious smile, and constant determination to love and cherish all her family and friends.
Surviving are her children, Brett (Debbie) Madore and Troy (Shawn) Madore; granddaughter, Amanda Madore; sisters and brothers, Edna (Eugene) Theriault, Fred Pelkey, Linda (Roger) Hawkins, Mary (Jerry) Moore and Michael (Jenny) Pelkey; her canine “best friend”, LuLu; many special nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends too numerous to mention by name – especially her brothers and sisters of the Kingdom Hall. In addition to her parents and husband, Judy was preceded in death by her grandson, Justin Madore; brothers, Thomas and Richard Pelkey; and precious dog, Otis.
In accordance to Judy’s wishes, cremation will take place. Memorial services will be held on Wednesday, June 19, 2019 at 4:00 pm in Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1600 N. Summerset Drive.

J. Flowers says
Dear family and friends, I’m very sorry for your loss. All of us who have lost a loved one in death have the bible-based hope at John 5:28, 29 where it says that all those in the memorial tombs will hear Jesus’ voice and come out. Yes, in the near future there will be a resurrection and we will see our loved ones again in perfect health. I hope this scripture brings you comfort.
Tony J says
May the God of all comfort Jehovah be with your family during your loss.
