Kendall County Judge Frieda Pressler passes away

The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office has announced the death of Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace Judge Frieda J. Pressler, calling her “a truly remarkable woman who dedicated her life to serving the people of Kendall County.”  Pressler was 72-years-old.

According to the sheriff’s office, Pressler began her public service career with Kendall County EMS in the early 1980’s.  In 1986, she took office as the Precinct 4 Justice of the Peace, a role she held for nearly four decades.  “Judge Pressler had a true servant’s heart,” the sheriff’s office wrote, adding that “her compassion, wisdom, kindness, and dedication touched countless lives throughout Kendall County.”

The sheriff’s office said Pressler was “a familiar and trusted presence” for generations in the community, and that her legacy includes the people she “helped, encouraged, and cared for along the way.”  The post also included the Bible verse, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” Matthew 25:23.
