Judy was an inspirational Christian woman. I remember her cheerful attitude and loving way she related to children in Bible classes and as a speaker at a woman's retreat.

May God comfort and bless her family.

I had the pleasure of working with Judy at Erickson and two of my children loved her as their teacher.
Her courage and faith are my inspiration. I know she will be missed. My condolences to Ken and her children.

I had the privilege of team teaching with Judy and Janice Reid. We were the three J's, and Judy was the glue that held the three J's together. I will always remember her as a kind, funny, bright and loving friend. The world has lost one of its treasures but I know she has moved on to a place where her beautiful spirit will live on forever.

I remember Judy for her smile and quick wit. Oh and that Texas accent - she was funny and positive and great with those 3rd graders. It was a pleasure working with her. My prayers are with your family.

Judy was one of the loveliest people I ever knew. She could make a child love learning and they always knew she loved them. We will miss her but are happy she is no longer in pain.

Judy was an amazing lady! I worked with her as a teacher assistant when my son was in her 3rd grade class. I think of her often and the fun we had that year. My thoughts and prayers are with her family who will miss her on this earth. Her pain is gone as she is with God. God be with you.

Heaven is an even more glorious place because of Judy's presence. God has added a beautiful voice to his angels. We will miss you terribly, Judy, but we find peace in knowing your pain and suffering are over. We pray we can be better Christians so, through the grace of God, we will see you again one day.
