Judy and I were very good friends back in the days of Tampa Junior Academy and Forest Lake Academy. We started elementary school together and finished high school together. We spent many weekends together and enjoyed making cookies with my mom. Never will forget when Judy told me the recipe said 1 cup of salt instead of 1 cup of sugar. After the cookies were made and cooled off we each ate two before we realized what we did wrong.  We shared many laughs and some tears just from laughing so much. Judy was always so sweet and caring, not a mean bone in her body. 
RIP Judy and we will see you in heaven soon.

Such a sincere person,  always fun to hang out with and you can be sure should would show up with her witty personality as well as that big smile that was certain to brighten your day! She will be dearly missed by many.  Gone way too soon! We will love and miss you!

I'm so glad that we had the opportunity to meet Judy and Mario when visiting Aunt Sandra last year.  Judy was such a nice person and a pleasure to get to know.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  Our thoughts and prayers are with all of her family.

Although we weren’t exceptionally close, Judy was always warm, smiling, making light of something and laughing in her way and just in general always welcomed me and my family (me starting my own years later) with open arms. She brightened things up wherever she went. I enjoyed seeing her, which was usually at my aunt’s home, her mother-in-law, during the holidays. 

Just last month, we chatted through messenger and I’m grateful for that exchange. Working from home with her son Mike, she mentioned how his students talk to him like they’re best friends and seemed tickled by that. She always would ask about my dad, too, if he wasn’t with me, like she did in the recent online chat. She always cared and was genuine about her interest and concern for others.

From my perspective, she was the best mom and wife she could have possibly been and loved and adored her Ava  to pieces. The world would be a better place if there were more Judys in it. I truly believe she left it a better way than what she found it. She gave so freely to help others and will be missed by many. Those who knew her are blessed.

I wish strength, love, peace, and happy memories to comfort my cousin, Mario, their boys, Judy’s mother and brothers, my aunt, other cousins, and the rest of the family who are emotionally suffering. Although so many hearts feel broken, I believe she would want them to soon heal and would want everyone to try really hard to put a smile on their faces, remember her at her happiest and best, and to see her life as an inspiration.  

To the Pedrero and Campbell families, Blount and Curry Garden of Memories Funeral Home extends its heartfelt condolences. Our sympathy and thoughts are with you. 

Judy, I still remember spending time with you and the family on Angie and Mario’s wedding cruise. All the memories I have of you and our family are happy and positive ones. I am blessed to have known you while you were with us. Always laughing, smiling and enjoying life. We will always remember you and make you proud. 

My deepest sympathy to Mario and the boys.  I only have great memories of Judy, she was my partner in crime when we were together.  Not only was she my son's only day care provider but she was more importantly my dear friend.  She made my time at Nellis AFB the best experience out of all the assignments.  Our kids growing up together will always hold a special place as will our Christmas Eve's ordering pizza, sharing recipes (especially my taco dip) and of course our girls nights.  She could always put a smile on your face and be that special confidante.  She loved her family and friends like it was her job and she was great at it.  Again my heartfelt condolences to her family as she was truly a blessing.

Judy was so sweet! She was my mentor when I got on the floor at the TSC and one of the reasons I was able to do my job there effectively! She sat not to far from me and we talked daily. She would walk everyday during her lunch break and she told me, sometimes she would go meet her son to have lunch with him. Sending condolences and prayers to the family.

I had the pleasure of working with Judy. She was always so real and humble. She was caring and thoughtfulness. She will be missed. God bless her family.
