Judith Ann Glowicki of Bay City, Michigan, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 15, 2025, at the age of 85 after a lengthy struggle with heart related issues.

She was born on May 22, 1940, in Detroit Michigan to the late Donald and Gertrude Smith.

Warm summer sun,

Shine kindly here,

Warm southern wind,

Blow softly here.

Green sod above,

Lie light, lie light,

Good night, dear heart,

Good night, good night.
