Judy was a proud graduate of Pennfield High School and an active member of the VFW Ladies Auxiliary. Her favorite pastimes included crocheting, cardio drumming, NASCAR, camping, and taking Sunday afternoon drives. Above all, Judy cherished time spent with her grandchildren, who brought endless joy to her life.

She is also lovingly remembered by numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
A celebration of life will be held on November 7, 2025 at Baxter Funeral & Cremation Service. Visitation will begin at noon, followed by a service at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or Hospice in Judy's honor.
