Judy was laid to rest at Beautiful Greenwood Cemetery. Her wishes were to have a private celebration of life for close family and friends. The family would like to thank Hospice of Chattanooga Athens's team for their wonderful care. Most of all, our deepest gratitude and love for the outpouring of support from Judy's many friends. It has blessed us so much.
