Judy Kathleen Martin Herbolich

Judy was a proud and devoted mother to Cash Ames Herbolich, Drew Michael Herbolich, and Brett Leigh Seale, and a loving “Gaga” to her cherished grandchildren Laszlo, Robert, Curtis, and Olivia, each of whom brought her immense joy and pride.

Judy danced all her life. Judy’s life was deeply enriched by her love of dance and art, which were essential expressions of her spirit. Dance brought her joy, freedom, and connection, while art reflected her thoughtful nature and appreciation for beauty in the world around her. These passions were not merely hobbies, but vital parts of who she was—sources of inspiration, creativity, and quiet reflection that stayed with her throughout her life.

Judy took great pride in her work as a school counselor, where she found deep purpose in helping children navigate life’s challenges.

Family was the center of Judy’s world. She treasured family reunions in Mazatlán, where laughter and friendship filled the days, and she delighted in Christmases surrounded by love, warmth, and togetherness. Her home was always a place where people felt welcome, seen, and cared for.

Anyone who met Judy was touched by her love, light, and beauty. There wasn’t a dance floor she ever missed, nor a canvas she didn’t paint. She lived with creativity, joy, and an open heart, embracing life fully and fearlessly.

Judy will live on in each of us. She continues to guide us through her patience, kindness, and warmth, qualities that defined her life and will forever shape those who loved her.
