Judy was a loving wife and mother to three daughters, six grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. She graduated from Charlotte High School and then attended Wright Beauty Academy in Battle Creek. She worked at Marino’s where she met the love of her life, Ron. They lived and raised their family in Albion.
Judy’s happiest moments were spent with her family. She loved to spend time at their cabin up north where the extended family likes to vacation. She also loved to watch her birds while sitting in her backyard filled with flowers, read, knit, bake, play cards, and her dog, Meeko.

Judy is preceded in death by her parents, Arland Hammond and Edna (Zanger) Hammond.
