Judy will be remembered as a devoted wife and proud mother, whose deep love for her family, her friends, and her church, was simply indisputable. She was dedicated to her children and grandchildren, supporting and encouraging them in whatever interest, organization, or career they pursued.

Judy was formerly employed as a full-time bookkeeper and Office Manager, held various part-time positions, always keeping busy and engaged.

As an accomplished cook, Judy authored her own cookbook, and enjoyed entertaining, as well as home decorating, sewing/quilting/crafts, and family game time. She cherished every minute with her dear friends, through travel adventures, dinner groups, book clubs, social groups, and more. She always held those friendships very close to her heart.
