In 1963, Judy married Frank S Borodenko in Chicago, IL. They raised their family in Chicago before moving to Holland MI in 1976. In 1984 they moved to South Bend, IN. Judy attended IU University and worked in the accounting department at Bendix Corp/Allied until retiring. In retirement, Judy kept busy working part time at Fannie Mae Candy and as a tax preparer during tax season. Judy enjoyed reading, cooking, attending plays, chatting with her best friend Betty, spending time with her children and grandchildren, and doting over her great-grandchild. She also enjoyed peaceful days with her beloved cat, Rosie, and relaxing on her patio on summer evenings. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
