Just saw that Judy passed. I knew her as a member of the Anderson Twp. Historical Society. She created posters for our Country Store and we have a beautiful gourd that she painted with the Miller Leuser Log House on it in our museum center. I recall that we put a Country Store sign in her yard on Beechmont every year to promote our annual fund raiser.
So sorry that she is no longer with us, but her memory and her art lives on.

I will always have fond memories of time spent with Kurt, Kim and Karen when I was in high school. Judy had an infectious smile and was quick to laugh. My love to all of her family. Her kids are a wonderful legacy and I know she was proud of each of them.
