Judy loved Jesus with all of her heart; she enjoyed worshipping Him with her church family at Safe Harbor Church of God. Judy cared deeply for others and gave generously to everyone, everywhere. She worked at Attalla Health Care for many years and made countless friends wherever she went. She talked to her daughters most everyday and enjoyed conversation, laughing and "picking" on her sons-in-law. She loved lunch dates, Milo's Sweet Tea with Splenda and Mexican food. She passed her sweet-tooth onto her daughters and grandchildren, who will gladly carry on the "tradition" of dessert after every meal. No matter who Judy met, she saw the best in them, she lived with God's perspective of seeing potential and good in each person, which is something she will be remembered for.
