Judy Ann Connolly, age 74, of O'Fallon, born March 28, 1948 in Belleville, Ill., to Charles H. Votrian and Verna Ann Marie Votrian, nee Hesse, died on March 16, 2023 at Revela at O'Fallon Senior Living Community, with her loving family at her side.

Judy grew up in O'Fallon where she was crowned Miss O'Fallon in 1967. She was an avid Cardinals fan, loved playing the piano, gardening, and spending time at her condo at The Lake of the Ozarks, where she loved nothing more than hosting family. Judy was a kind and loving mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, and friend.

Judy was a proud graduate of O'Fallon Township High School and Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville. Throughout her professional career, Judy remained a dedicated and trusted employee (and employer too for a few years). She held many positions, including Teacher, Fitness Instructor and Retail Manager, though she maybe most enjoyed her years spent in advertising sales for the Belleville News-Democrat.

Judy was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Verna Votrian, nee Hesse, and grandparents, Barney and Agnes Hesse, nee Keck; William and Grace Votrian, nee Hall.

Survivors include her three sons Steven (Christine) Connolly of Belleville, Ill., Douglas Connolly of Shiloh, Ill., Gary Connolly of O'Fallon, Ill.; a brother, Craig (Denise) Votrian of O'Fallon, Ill.; grandchildren Katie Connolly, Ryan Connolly and Cooper Isaak: a nephew, Corey (Brandy) Votrian and a niece, Dani Votrian.

The family would like to thank ProMedica Hospice Care, Home Instead, and the entire team at Revela at O'Fallon for their compassionate care.
