I met Judy in the Beginning Experience program following her divorce. She always brought a ray of sunshine wherever she went.She enriched the lives of many people and will surely be missed.
I have many special memories of our high school days. We went horse back riding many Sunday afternoons. We were able to visit and be together at our high school class reunion a few years ago. Prayers for the family.

Putting good vibes out in the universe for you Judy. We had some fun, and I was pleased to usher at your wedding. Rest easy girl.
We are so blessed to have known Judy. We moved to Grandview Ave in 2004. We fast learned that Judy was the neighborhood Grandma. She always made time for the kids – going on a walk, teaching them about plants, remembering them on holidays and taking an active interest in their lives. She even hosted us at her lake home in Okoboji. Her zest for life spilled out. The heaven’s are praising to have Judy home! Are thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.
Our condolences to Judy’s family, especially Carrie, Terry and family. Your Mom was a ray of sunshine. She was so happy to retire and being able to pursue her own interests!
Judy will be missed by anyone who had the pleasure to know her. She truly had a smile that would light up a room.
So sorry for your loss. Judy was a good neighbor to my parents, Harry and Peggy, that lived across the street on Grandview. She was such a nice and gracious lady with a beautiful smile..
