How do you write well enough to do justice to your lover, partner, and best friend of 30 years? Jud loved her friends, she loved reading and sports and she loved helping people. Her 20 years as a school nurse and assistant JV softball coach at Mountain Ridge High School are some of her proudest. She cared devotedly for her children, grand children, and great grand children, especially when she could host them at her cabin in the mountains of Alpine. She will be dearly missed and loved forever by her family and friends.
