Judy Helen Heck, age 81, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, passed away peacefully at her residence on Monday, July 20, 2026.

Judy was born on July 21, 1945, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to the late Millard and Helen (Cook) McClintoch. She graduated from New Haven High School and, in August 1962, married the love of her life, Ronald Heck, in Michigan. Together they shared many years of marriage until his passing.
