I remembered Judy Q on February 7th, 2020.. I have a beautiful book mark that I keep around my reading area. She was in the book I was reading on that day, "Mrs. de Winters" by Nancy Hill (amazing read by the way). Yes, Judy Q. will always be remembered. Her pal, Donna Gilbrech-McGown

I was very sad to hear of Judy's passing. I knew Judy from way back. We use to play softball together and she always had a smile on her face. Of course through life we lost touch - which makes me sad. But I will always have her in my heart. So sorry for the families loss of such a caring and fun person.

I met Judy back in the very early seventies through a mutual friend. We had lots of good times with her. I haven't seen her for many many years but I do have Fond memories and remember how much fun she was. I remember her laugh and her cute little giggle. I know she will be greatly missed by those who were close to her.

Oh my, I'm so saddened to hear of Judy's passing. My heart goes out to Jim, Judy's family, friends and all those at Barrister Winery. What a beautiful woman inside and out~ that warm heart, gorgeous smile, twinkle in her eyes, sincere personality and fun, fun, fun to laugh with each time you saw her. You will be missed more than you can imagine, Judy. God Bless you, Jim, your family and friends!

Hey Judy, What a wonderful time we had. I was sort of hired as a CETA employee at Manito Park. She made it happen along with Frank McCoy, Rod Zowskey, and Hal McGlathery. Special people. Judy took all us secretaries out to the Spokane Club during secretaries week. I'll bring a picture to share. Judy was, FUN, FUN, FUN!!! The parks dept. was such in good moral at that time. Everytime I see a bottle of Strawberry Wine from Boone's Hill, I think of her and always will. God Speed be with you my friend. I'll find that winery your celebration is at, never went there, but I'll be with you on Friday, hell or high water. So sorry for your loved ones lost. They hurt so much. Damn cancer anyway!!! Your pal, Donna Gilbrech-McGown Good-bye Judy, see up there one day.

We're so sorry for your loss! Our memories of Judy are mostly from times spent with her brother, Dennis, aka Skeeter. He was one of our very best friends and little sister, Judy, was part of the equation! She was cute, fun and always had a big grin on her face. We understand that, like fine wine, Judy only got better with age! Our love to you all.

We are saddened to hear of Judy's passing. We always looked forward to seeing her at Barrister Winery during our adventures to Spokane. We have missed her this past year and were hopeful we would see her behind the bar again. Our condolences to all who loved her. We will miss her smiling face and engaging conversation.
