She was incredibly proud of her service and received many letters of recognition for her professionalism and good cheer. In 2002, she moved to Heritage of Edina and became known throughout the community, managing the small store, playing poker with residents. She was one of the longest tenured residents and made many friends, who were always greeted with a heartfelt "Hi honey!". Judi will be missed especially by 2nd cousins Sandy Boody (Terry Maly), and John Exline (Linda) who have been caring for Judy alongside the staff at Heritage. A special thanks to the Allina Hospice staff who were so dedicated over the last 6 months. A private service will held with family.
