Judy "Juju"

Heltz

Judy Mae St. Pierre Heltz passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Saturday, April 10, 2021 at the age of 80. As we mourn the loss of such an outstanding woman, surely her welcome into heaven was a glorious celebration as she was reunited with her beloved husband, Daniel Amedee Heltz, and her siblings and their spouses, Yvette and Gaston Haydel, Nettie Lee and Frank Calcagno, June St. Pierre, Jr., George St. Pierre and her loving parents, June and Lema St. Pierre.

Judy "JuJu" was an amazing mother and grandmother and made her family her priority. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Danielle and Theron Louque; daughter, Amy Pickenheim; her grandchildren, Chelsea and Trevor Louque and William, Dashiell, Declan and Thaddeus Pickenheim; brother and sister-in-law, Gene and Linda St. Pierre and sisters-in-law, Patricia St. Pierre and Mary Leola St. Pierre. She is preceded in death by her son-in-law, William (Bill) Pickenheim.

JuJu played an active part in both her children and grandchildren's lives.  She was the president and coach of her daughters' recreational cabbageball league, president of the PTA and leader in the Jr. Catholic Daughters of America serving as an honorary member of the Catholic Daughters of America. She organized food drives, Christmas caroling, and coincidentally implemented Christmas plays and ongoing entertainment at Riverlands Nursing Home, currently Chateau St. James, where she resided for 3 years and peacefully took her eternal rest.

As a dedicated leader in the community, her character, outgoing personality, humor and loving heart made a friend out of everyone she met.  She was a charter member of the locally famous 3-ELL's organization, a philanthropic club that creates variety shows as a means of raising money for specific needs in the community. She was known as the "Avon Lady" and her door-to-door sales included coffee, conversation and laughter.  She loved her job and was awarded Honor Society stature. She also participated in the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, she loved working the election polls and once drove around town counting houses for the US Census Bureau.

JuJu had a strong commitment to her Catholic faith and was very fervent in her prayer life which was visible in her dedication as an avid adoration adorer. She volunteered at church and spent many years singing in the Sacred Heart Church Choir.

JuJu lived her life to the fullest with joy and love to all that were blessed to know her.
