Funeral Expenses for Judy Bottila

Donation protected
To begin, both Judy and Duane were fully vaccinated last January. Our dad suffered from 2 strokes in 2016 and 2017, since then Judy has been his primary caretaker.

On September 27th, Judy started feeling a little under the weather. She was tested for Covid-19 on September 27th and was told she was positive on October 1st. Duane fell on Saturday, October 2nd and was rushed to the hospital, where he also tested positive, with very mild symptoms. He's since been transferred to a transitional care facility and they are taking great care of him.

She progressively felt worse throughout the week and by Monday, October 4th, she was admitted to North Memorial Maple Grove hospital with severe symptoms. Long story short, they started her with oxygen up her nose, then onto a Optiflow oxygen, then onto a Bipap machine and on Thursday, October 21st, put on a ventilator and moved to North Memorial, Robbinsdale (NMMC). NMMC, has better equipment to handle her injuries. They are a level 1 trauma center.

Judy fought with all her might, but she is now peacefully at rest with Jesus. She passed away at 11:05pm on 10/26. By the grace of the wonderful hospital staff, Judy's family was able to there in-person to surround her with love and prayers as she took her last breath.
