Always special to me, always in my heart. Would love more than anything to spend a day again with you. My little daffodils are growing and make me think of you!

Always thinking of you, Judy. I can still hear your beautiful voice - and oh how I loved your laughter. I´m looking forward to seeing my tulips bloom this spring - they always remind me of you! I miss you so much.

Remembering you today, and every day, Judy. You were so special to me. I´ll never forget our wonderful conversations - you loved gardening and taught me so much. I was so amazed when your basil plant grew to 4 feet high! You loved your daisies. I remember you telling me about the "tomato growing contests" you would have with your dad - and that he would win every year! You loved the sunshine and being outside - and especially loved spending time with Bill. I always enjoyed hearing about your hiking adventures together, and your weekend trips to the mountains. So many wonderful memories. You will never be forgotten by all who loved you!

Judy popped into my mind for some reason today. I was surprised and saddened to learn of her passing. I knew Judy from childhood in Baltimore, and shared time at Parkville High School. She was a bride's maid at my wedding...and I remember her for her kindness and especially her bravery when she underwent a serious oral procedure. I can only imagine this quiet bravery stood her and her loved ones in good stead during her final days. I know she would want you all to be well, happy and peaceful...

I hadn't talked to Judy in 10-15 years and decided to reach out today, only to find she had passed on. Such a great woman and was always the best to talk to. Will miss my old work buddy. RIP Judy!

I have so many wonderful memories of growing up in Springdale with the Wisemans! Mrs. Wiseman was the sweetest Halloween Witch who wandered about the neighborhood giving out treats. And she was the mom who gladly hosted a crew of teenagers almost every weekend in her home. She always so happy to see us, talk to us, and make us feel important. She was a smile, a hug, and sunshine all wrapped up into one fabulous person. I will always miss her.

many wonderful memories of Mrs. Wiseman as she was known to me - she always let us sneak around to gather in her basement and we often strolled upstarts just to talk with her for a bit. Hugs to you Billy❤

I am so sorry about the loss of your beautiful wife and mother. I did not know her that well, I would only see her when she came in the opposite of all this is her husband Bill Wiseman. She was always such a pleasant lovely person. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers and may her soul rest in peace. God bless you

From my age 3 to 8 or 10 or 12 or whatever it was, "Mrs. Wiseman" (and the amazing man that she married!) had a profound impact on my life. She was hip and cool and kept Billy and me in line. I can still hear her voice. The memories of the time I spent in her house with Billy are without number. I got dirt on her pristine gold carpet, I ate her awesome pork chops and her pancakes with the holes in them, I drank all of the Hawaiian Punch, I made dumb kid jokes, I broke things, and she loved me. She was my "other Mom" just two doors down. Regretfully, I only ran into her a few times in the last 40 years or so, but have sung her praises (and will continue to do so) countless times. To III, IV, Reid, and everyone, I'm so so sorry. I can't imagine how much of a cavern her loss leaves in your hearts. God bless you all. - James "Wants some Moore" FauntLeRoy

To all in Judys family-so sorry to hear of her passing. I met Judy when we worked together a long time ago in Towson. She was a gem of a person. So kind to me as a young lawyer. I think of her fondly. Thinking of you all.

My kids called her "Shoofly," but to most she was JuJu. Johnny Mathis was her favorite musician. Here are a few memories of the best mother anyone could ask for! Love you, Mom!

Feels like a long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away... Love you, Mom!

Judy was a bright light in this world. She was beautifully devoted to her family! We were blessed to be neighbors for many years and we have so many wonderful memories of Judy from that time. Our oldest daughter grew up being loved and doted upon by Judy!

Bill and family,

I was shocked to hear about Judy's passing. We grew up together as babies. So many memories I will cherish always. Her family was her life. She was devoted to Bill and Reid and one in a million mothers. May the memories all of you have of her help through this difficult time. Please let me know when you have the Memorial Service.

Love, Karis
