Judde Golliher has loved and been around animals all her life. She lives with her husband John in the country. They have two sons–Casey, who lives in Madison, and Travis, who lives in Arizona. They have two grandchildren–Jonathan and Melissa in Arizona.

Judde and her family have had many animals in the past. Their boys showed chickens at the area fairs and at one time had about 80 feathered friends. There were also sheep, horses, mini-horses,birds and many cats and dogs through out the years. They currently share their home with a Leonberger named Desi, a Wienie-dog mix named Bobbi, and 8 chickens.

Judde is a member of the Dane County Humane Society and enjoys collecting items to donate not only for the humane society but also for the local food pantry, the community baby shower, St. Judes Childrens Hospital and other fundraisers.  As a breast cancer survivor, she is a big supporter of the American Cancer Society and participates annually in the Relay for Life event in DeForest.

Judde enjoys spending time with her family (especially her grandchildren ), and loves reading books and crafting with beads and wire. Someday she would like to try her hand at some other artistic adventures like painting and mosaics.
