Babe was born at home on the Corrigan Family farm to Bert and Veronica (Kornovich) Corrigan. She grew up in Foley and is the youngest of six children, this being how she acquired her nickname "Babe". She graduated from Foley High School in 1954 and married the love of her life Floyd Udermann in 1956 at St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Duelm. The couple moved to Minneapolis to follow Floyd's professional AWA wrestling career. Babe worked part-time at Rainbow Foods for many years, but her main priority was raising her five children. She loved the outdoors and always had many beautiful flowers she tended to right up until her illness. She was a fabulous seamstress, on a bowling league for many years and hosted many holiday meals. Babe and Floyd enjoyed traveling, especially summer vacations with family. She was deeply proud of her Irish heritage and made sure there was a shamrock pinned on each of her children's school uniforms on St Patrick's Day.

She was a loving wife for 65 years and a wonderful loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother.  Her catholic faith was a central part of her life. Babe was a member of St. John the Baptist Parish in New Brighton, Minnesota for more than 60 years and was the founder of the Living Rosary over 50 years ago, which encouraged members to pray the rosary as a group. She said the rosary daily and felt this was her time she reserved for the Lord. Babe volunteered at St. John's coordinating menus and serving at funeral luncheons, as well as volunteering at many other church functions.

Babe is survived by her five children, Patrick (Kim), Michael (Char), Peg (Randy) Turner, Lucy (Mark Walbridge), John (Mary); sisters Mary, Gin, Rita, and Ione; grandchildren Josh, Mary, Nikki, Tom, Sam, Emma and Jack; and 14 great-grandchildren with a new arrival coming in May.

Babe was preceded in death by her husband Floyd Udermann; her parents and brother Earl Corrigan.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at The Mayo Clinic in Rochester and Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids for the wonderful care Babe received.
