Judy Millsap

April 14, 1942 - November 9, 2019

On Saturday November 9, 2019, Judith Nicole (O'Brien) Millsap, comforted by her Lord and Savior, was reunited with her husband of fifty years, Myron Millsap. Judy was born April 14, 1942 in Des Moines, Iowa to William B. O'Brien and Mary Louise Frederick. Judy was a fun-loving, spirited, and generous person. With her husband, Myron, at her side, she loved planning parties and holiday celebrations, which often took place at the family home in Ankeny, Iowa. Judy enjoyed music and for many years sang in the local Sweet Adelines group. A talented seamstress, she spent free time sewing, working with crafts, and hunting antiques. While their two grandsons were growing up, Judy and Myron could be seen in the stands, enjoying the boys' many little league baseball and football games. But, above all, Judy loved children. Consequently, she was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and aunt to family, and a good friend to neighbors and their children. When her health began to fail, she faced it with great courage. She was loved, and will be deeply missed by both family and friends. She is survived by daughter, Marcie Millsap, and son, Brian (Sheri) Millsap, of Ankeny; grandsons, Jake, of Ankeny and Zach, of Ames; step-daughter, Beth (Mark) Gregory of Marlow, Oklahoma; her step-grandchildren, Kate Gregory and Emily Pritchard; step-great grandson, Colt Pritchard; brother, Dennis (Linda) O’Brien, of Milwaukee; niece, Maureen O’Brien, of Miami and nephew, John O’Brien, of Milwaukee; uncle, Bruce Meggison, of Des Moines; and cousins Gary (Cyndi) Meggison, of Grimes, Cathy (Norman) Franker of Olathe, KS, and Michael Whitmore of Yucaipa, CA. In lieu of flowers, donations can be may be sent in her name to Dyamond Memorial 121 SW 3rd Street – Ankeny, Iowa 50023. Judy has been cremated and a memorial service to celebrate her life, will be at a later date. Please check back for more information.
