Judy was a loving and devoted wife and mother as well as a wonderful "mema" to her grandchildren. She loved her family dearly and enjoyed cooking for them and spending time with them. Always looking for a good bargain, Judy enjoyed going to yard sales. She had a generous spirit and always tried to help anyone in need. Above all, Judy loved the Lord and took great joy in listening to gospel music.
