Deepest condolences to the family of Judy. She was my very first babysitter out in New Moorefield and was probably my first crush on an older woman. I enjoyed all of the Fleming family but Judy was very special. May she rest in peace.

Judy was a joy to be around. She was a great classmate both in Jr high at New Moorfield and Northeastern.
Condolences to her family and all who knew her.
