Judy Meyer Obituary

Judy MEYER Judy Meyer was a wonderful person to know.Her sparkling sense of humor and quick wit made everyone around her feel at home.

They also spent many happy hours in search of weekly rummage sales, delighting all with their treasures, an activity they continued until Al's death in 2000.

Dear Mindy and Dan. I remember your Mom well, even though I was only a small child when we met. She was a great lady, very lively and warm.
