Sincere condolences to the whole family. May your wonderful memories give you peace and comfort.

My condolences to all of Judy's kids. I grew up playing football with Ward and Pat. Judy and Earl were a great couple and Judy was a light to so many in the Fairbanks community. I used to watch her out of my front window playing softball across the street from our little house enjoying her time with all of her buddies. She was also a very special Mom/Grandma to all of her kids and grandchildren. She will be missed by many and joins a lot of "tough" birds in heaven who made a life in...

Judy and I worked together at UAF, sometimes in different departments. She was wonderful and made people comfortable. She had many trials in her life but like her family said, She was one tough bird. Judy will be missed by many

We are so sorry for your loss. Judy always greeted everyone with a smile and a joyful heart.

I worked with Judy at UAF. She never forgot my name and always made me feel special. She was a shining light in the world. I will miss her.

My dear Aunt Judy was a very special lady and a tough bird indeed! Although I was not physically in her orbit very often since she lived in the "far off" lands of Alaska during my childhood in her hometown of Arvada CO, she has always been my treasured Aunt and I absolutely loved her and all the times I was fortunate to be around her or video interact with her in later years. I am very grateful for the time we had together when we bid farewell to my own mother, her sister. Wishing comfort...

I am so sorry to hear of Judy´s passing. My condolences to her family and all her other friends and acquaintances. I knew Judy from my time at the Biology and Wildlife Department at UAF. She was a source of cheer and support. A bright smile and genuine interest. When I think of Judy, I smile. That is a wonderful legacy.

I worked with Judy at the State Courthouse for many years. She ALWAYS had a smile on her face and was a joy to work with. I hope our mansions in Heaven are located near one another. Sorry to hear of her passing and my prayers for the family.

Condolences, I loved this tough and gracious bird.
