Judy Pulver Mills, born August 23, 1937, passed into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on February 19, 2002. Judy was born in Seattle, Washington, and raised in Harlingen, Texas. She attended The University of Texas at Austin for three years where she was a Plan II major and a member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, then transferred to The University of Florida where she earned her degree. Judy wed Byron Mills on August 23, 1958 in Harlingen, Texas, where Byron was involved in aviation training with the U.S. Air Force. After completing his Air Force duty, Judy followed Byron to Houston, Galveston, San Antonio and Dallas, supporting him as he pursued a successful career as a bank executive. Judy was also a dedicated supporter of Byron's career in the Air Force Reserve, where he ultimately achieved the rank of Major General.
