Judy worked for our company for over 20 years. She was a caring, compassionate caregiver to hundreds of children in our New Braunfels community. She built relationships with parents and grandparents who truly entrusted her with their babies. Often times, she taught many a young mother how to care for their child.
We along with what once was and still remains our Prodigy family is heartbroken. Most times employers think their employees are replaceable... not us. Judy was a treasure. Ask anyone of her peers. No one will ever replace her. We all share your loss Simon, Kayla, Kendra, Bella and her pride and joy Autumn. Thank you for sharing her with us!
❤️ Our love and prayers- Kenny & Lisa

Judy was a kind and nurturing person. I was blessed to have her as a teacher in my son’s class. I always joked that I wanted her to move up with him every year because I trusted her so completely and knew she took care of him like her own. We are saddened to hear of her passing and our thoughts and prayers are with her family and loved ones.
