Judith Ann Vanden Hoogen

Judith A. (King) Vanden Hoogen, 81, of Iron Mountain died peacefully at home on Easter Sunday, April 17th, 2022, with her children at her side. Judy was born on May 20th, 1940 in Green Bay, WI, to the late Robert and Mildred (Mangless) King. After losing both parents at a young age, Judy and her five siblings developed an even deeper bond as they were left with the responsibility of taking care of one another. Judy was a graduate of Green Bay West High School, class of ’58. Following graduation, she shared an apartment with a girlfriend and began working for the A.C. Nielsen company in Green Bay. In early 1961, she married David Campbell and switched gears to work in an office position for the ad agency David and a partner started. She also worked as a model for clients like Arthur Norgaard Furs and appeared in many advertisements. David and Judy went on to have two wonderful children, David Jr. and Kathleen (Kat) Campbell, and later divorced. Judy’s focus in the next stage of her life was as a single mom working to provide for her kids. She worked in office management positions for Snider and Daanen Furniture, Great Lakes Paving, and as a Personal Banker for Western Savings following a move to Phoenix, Arizona. She was an active member of the American Business Women’s Association for many years. She worked hard to make ends meet, always putting her kids first…and found ways to spend quality time with her family. Judy later moved back to Wisconsin, met and married her last husband, Bill Vanden Hoogen, and they bought a tavern in the north woods. They met a lot of folks and made many friends in their years running MugShots together. After Bill passed in 2000, daughter Kat sold her own bar and moved in to help Judy manage the business with the new name ”The Creek”. When it came time to sell the bar in 2009, the house across the street from Kat’s new home in Iron Mountain, Mich. just happened to go up for sale. Judy and Kat continued to live just steps away from each other, and Kat was right there for her mom until the end. Judy loved spending time with her family and friends, Friday Fish Frys, watching her favorite soaps, and spending time at the cottage in Athelstane, WI. She watched the Green Bay Packers religiously, loved to work on crafts, and “Sunday Fun Days” driving through the back country roads of northern Wisconsin, which may have included an Old Fashioned or two and steak dinner at a favorite supper club. Judy will be missed by her two children, David (Connie) Campbell Jr. and Kat Campbell; three grandchildren, Jamie (Alex) Brasil, Niki Hensley, and Mackay Campbell; a great-granddaughter, Ella Brasil; sister, Barbara Engels; and many other family and friends. In addition to her husband and parents, Judy is preceded in death by four siblings, Robert (Corky) King, Sharon Routheau, Sandra Parins and Kathy “Queenie” Andersen. A private, family service will be held at a later date. Judy’s family would like to thank the nursing staff of Grancare Rehabilitation Center of Green Bay, the staff of Bellin Clinic of Iron Mountain, and the staff of Dickinson Home Health, particularly Paige and Melissa, for helping to make Judy’s final days as comfortable as possible.
