She hosted over 40 Thanksgivings and Christmases in her lifetime and was totally devoted to keeping her family close and maintaining family tradition. Judy was thrilled to be a grandparent and acknowledged that her only regret would be not being able to watch her grandchildren grow-up.

Anyone who knew Judy, knew how much she adored her dogs and her garden. She was an accomplished quilter and contributed time to Prayer’s and Squares and quilting baby blankets for Children’s Hospital. Judy was also a great cook and saw food and cooking as a way to share love and hospitality. She believed in traditions
