With heavy hearts, we remember and celebrate the life of Judy Ann VanHook. A dear friend from our high school days and a cherished partner to our good friend and neighbor growing up, she brought warmth, laughter, and kindness to all who knew her.
Her presence brightened our lives, and though she is no longer with us, her spirit will remain in our hearts forever. May her memory bring comfort to those who loved her, and may she rest in peace.
With deepest sympathy,
