“Our stepmother of 52 years passed away late last night from Covid. Alone in the nursing home with the exception of a single nurse who saw her take her last breath. Judy was such a beautiful Child of God and knew her Lord and Savior well. A very caring and generous woman. She never had children of her own but welcomed Carl's 3 daughters with open arms. She loved our dad completely. To her, family was everything. We are certain that dad and her parents were there to greet her as she entered into heaven. We only pray that she felt our love from afar. Rest in peace pretty lady. You are finally home and free from dementia. You can enjoy all of your loved ones and pets who were called home before you"

Much love, Sharon Gable Leatherman and Peg Gable Miller
