Judith "Judi" Ann Gray-Ingalls

Judith Ann “Judi” Gray-Ingalls, age 69, of Nunica, passed away peacefully at home with her husband by her side on Sunday, April 19, 2026. Born on March 3, 1957, to Gary G. and Lois A. (Decker) Gray, in Grand Haven, MI, Judi lived a life rooted in love, family, and quiet kindness. She married Gregory Ingalls on April 17, 1999, in Spring Lake.

Judi had a gift for bringing people together, especially her family, and took great joy in creating traditions that will be cherished by everyone. Whether it was hosting Halloween parties, organizing hayrides, or planning Easter egg hunts at the family farm in Nunica, Judi made every gathering feel special. Her gentle spirit, warm heart, and compassion for others earned her the affectionate nickname, “Lovey,” which perfectly captured who she was.

Judi had an adventurous soul and a love for life’s simple pleasures. She spent several years living in Honolulu, Hawaii, an experience she treasured, before returning home to be closer to family. She found happiness in traveling throughout Michigan and visiting Florida, but her favorite moments were often the quiet ones—relaxing by the pool, taking drives with her mother and sisters, boating, and sewing.

Judi’s natural sense of organization and dedication led her to a career as an office manager in Grand Haven at Woodland Real Estate. A 1975 graduate of Spring Lake High School, and lifelong member of Spring Lake Presbyterian Church, Judi carried her deep connection to community and faith throughout her life. At the church, Judi served as a deacon and volunteered her time in the food pantry and food truck outreach programs with her mother.

Judi is lovingly remembered and missed by her loving husband of 27 years, Greg; step-children, Sarah (Jerrod) Mason and Evan (Elaine) Ingalls; her cherished grandchildren: Jaxon Montano, Lennon Mason, and Joni and Leah Ingalls; her three siblings: Gary L. (Diane) Gray, Susan (Greg) Borta, and Carrie (Kevin) Ruiter; brother-in-law, Marlin (Pam) Ingalls; sister-in-law, MaryBeth (Charles) Jansen; uncle, Paul (Carol) Decker; along with many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Gary and Lois; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Marlin and Mary Ingalls; brother-in law, Richard Lemke; sister-in-law, Janet Hecksel; and her beloved dogs, Charlie and Gigi, who brought her so much joy.

Visitations will be held on Sunday, April 26th, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m., at Klaassen Family Funeral Home, as well as one hour prior to the service on Monday at the church.
