Judith loved the Lord and her family. She started out as a church bus driver for Foursquare Gospel Church and continued making sure people had rides to church long after her bus driving days were behind her. Judith was a fierce Prayer Warrior with a servant’s heart. She was passionate about missions and helping those in need. She made sure to share the Word with those who would listen and lived a life that was reflective of Jesus’ teachings. Judith was a long-time, active member of Foursquare Gospel Church. She loved to travel, especially to Israel, Ireland, and Scotland. Judith was a hairdresser, owning her own salon, Jude’s Salon, for nearly 40 years before she retired to share the Love of Jesus full time. Judith was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and role model. She will be missed on Earth, but her family rejoices with the knowledge that she is enjoying her new home in Heaven.
