Judy Hayward

She is survived by her husband, Jeff; her son, Daniel Dinsmore Jr. (Paula); her parents, Richard and Rachel Bortz; her sisters, Susan Bortz and Connie Chewning; her grandchildren, Katelyn Hogan (Tyler), Kyle, Karter, Kolton, Kannon, and Kashton Dinsmore; and her great-granddaughter, Mazie Hogan. She was preceded in death by her son, Steven Dinsmore, and her sister, Debbie Lyall.

Judy was a truly kind and genuine person whose love for her family was at the center of everything she did. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who gave her whole heart to those she loved. Her time with her son, Daniel, meant the world to her, and she treasured every moment spent with her growing family.

She found a special kind of happiness at the beach, where she loved the calming sound of the waves and the simple joy of being together with Jeff and their dog, Zeke. Those moments reflected who she was, someone who appreciated life’s quiet, meaningful experiences and the people who shared them.

Judy was strong-willed and had a generous heart. She was always thinking of others first, offering warmth, kindness, and comfort in ways both big and small. Her presence made people feel cared for, and her absence will be deeply felt. She will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.

A memorial service to celebrate Judy’s life will be held on on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Mullins & Thompson Funeral Service, 186 Shelton Shop Road, Stafford, Virginia, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Inurnment will be private.
