POINT MILLS -- Judith (Judy) E. Carne, 79, long-time resident of Point Mills, died peacefully and in faith on Wednesday morning, November 11, 2026.
She was born in Hancock on December 11, 1946, to the late Jacob F. Harry and the late Eva M. Harry Chimino. She graduated from Jeffers High School and went on to be a teletype setter at the Chicago Sun Times. After a time, she returned to her hometown and married.
On August 29, 1970, she married the love of her life, Michael E. Carne at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Atlantic Mine. The couple made their home in Point Mills where she devoted many years to being a wife and a mother.
In time, she returned to work at the Houghton County Courthouse in the Treasurer's office. She later went on to become Deputy Treasurer before she retired after a long tenure.
Judy was a long-time member of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Dollar Bay where she was formerly active with the Altar Society, worked as the church secretary, and served as a lay liturgical minister in many roles. She was passionate about the Catholic church and devoted to her faith.
She enjoyed so much in life! She was talented at knitting and crocheting, drawing and painting. She reveled in the times she was boating, hunting, and spending time outdoors with her husband Mike. Playing cards and games or tromping around the woods with her family and grandchildren were treasured past times.
Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband of 43 years, Michael E. Carne and her stepfather, David F. Chimino.
She is survived by two daughters, Michele (Michael) Mannisto and Kristin (Scott) Pilgrim; five grandchildren, Isaac, Alexander, Elizabeth, Nicholas, and Jacob; three siblings, Thomas Harry, Carol Desiatto, and Lori Adams and many nieces and nephews.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in the spring at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Dollar Bay followed by the Rite of Committal at Mountain View Cemetery in South Range. Details will be announced at a later date.
Memorials in lieu of flowers may be directed to the St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church Altar Society, 23176 Fir Avenue, Dollar Bay, MI 49922.
