Judy gave a lot of years to a wonderful organization called Sweet Adelines. I got to sing and work with her and enjoy all that barbershop music has to offer. It was a very special time of life! She is still remembered today.

Aden family and friends,
Although, I haven't known Judy as long as most, we both shared many of the same ideals. She loved her family so very much and was so proud of her grandchildren. She was a fighter in her battle with Leukemia and was a breast cancer survivor. Her inspiration for music is reflected in her family's love of music. I so wish that she could have been here for Brian and Jenny's wedding in June but her love will embrace them forever. I will miss our chats and your keen sense of humor! I am so blessed to have known you and your memory will never fade. John & Helen

I have so many fond memories of Judy -- by the Field Club pool with you (her children) and mine, singing in Sweet Adelines, and being a part of "the birthday club" to name a few. It's so hard to believe that she is gone after such a valiant fight. My prayers go out to all in her family. She will be sorely missed.

From a long lost friend in Phonenix. She was a great gal and I thought a lot of her. So talented and pretty. She will be missed by all.

To Judy's family and friends ~
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. Though Dana and I never had the opportunity to meet Judy in person, her love and joy for life still touched us. Judy was without a doubt a lovely woman with a beautiful soul. From afar we could still sense her uncommon energy for life, her family and her friends.
Judy will be sorely missed, and without a doubt - will never be forgotten. Though her human life on earth has ended, her love and legacy remain. Judy will always be thought of kindly, with smiles on our faces, and joy in our hearts. God bless!!!
With love and sympathy,
Dana & Colleen St. Mary

God's Blessings to Judy's family. She was a big contributer to Acappella Omaha Chorus for many years singing barbershop harmony and writing shows. She and her Mother were instrumental in getting me a job at Equifax when I needed to work and raise my children. I remember Judy having so much fun with her Mom in Las Vegas. My sons recall playing with Judy's sons when they were all just little fellows! My daugher and sons all send sympathy to the family having good memories of the past. Judy taught us all how to be optimistic and fight health issues. Hopefully we will all sing together again in a heavenly chorus someday.
There are lots of Sweet Adeline sisters already waiting for Judy.
Smiling with good memories,
Nancy Goldberg

My Dear Friend: I will miss you but have such wonderful memories of you. We shared the love of animals and fought our cancer battles together. We actually laughed over some of those trials and tribulations. You were an inspiration to all.
You'll forever stay in my heart, Dena Callison, Galesburg, Illinois
