Judy was always so smart and generous! She made it possible for me to attend Chattanooga High school by driving us there in her cool Karman Ghia and what a great time we had! Unfailingly loyal to her family and friend, her life made such a difference to all who knew her and those in need.

We mowed Judy´s yard for years and she always gave us a fresh fruit drink and a can of mixed nuts when we came by. She was a kind lady.
