Her deep faith in Jesus as her Lord anchored her life, and she passed on the strength of prayer and the joy of God’s love to her family. Judy’s generosity, warmth, and ability to see and meet the needs of others made her a true blessing to all who knew her. Her wisdom and joyful spirit will continue to guide and inspire.
