Judy was born in Malta, MT on November 20, 1945 to Alfred and Florence (Dyrdahl) Charlton. She attended all of her school years in Malta and graduated from Malta High School in 1963. Judy married John Wayne Korsbeck on November 6, 1965 in Malta. She attended college in Helena and traveled the country with John while he was enlisted in the Army, returning to Malta in 1974. Judy spent her days often working two jobs as a secretary and an incredible waitress that served many meals to hungry bellies! She was John's "right-hand" at the insurance office until they retired in 2005. Judy continued to waitress right up until her last months. Her greatest joys in life were her children and grandchildren; she loved talking with her grand kids about horses, growing up on the farm and the many critters she had. She was active in the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, Blood Drawing and Elections. She was an avid reader and loved crosswords and word games.
Judy was preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, her parents, sister Jo Ann Waters and brother-in-law Philip Sims. Survivors include her children, son Kelly Korsbeck of Malta, daughter Kristie (Kelly) Rutledge, of Big Sandy; grandchildren Brantly, Andrea & Lance Rutledge, all of Big Sandy; brother Dale (Darlene) Charlton of Helena; sisters Darlene Sims of Big Timber, Vicki (Wes) Kroll of Helena, Kathy (Les) Bebee of Havre; mother-in-law Ellen Korsbeck of Malta; brother-in-law Don Waters of Malta; sisters-in-law Sue (Dwight) Bomer of McAllister, Oklahoma, Chick (Jim) Brogan of Wilsall; numerous nieces and nephews and many wonderful friends.
