Judy was a devout believer in God. Her service to the church began with volunteering in the nursery alongside her mother at a young age where she developed a deep love for children. She was an active member of the Newton Falls First Church of God from 1952-2016 and later attended York Avenue Church of God. Judy served the church in innumerable ways throughout her life. Some examples of her service were teaching Sunday School, helping with Vacation Bible School, babysitting for church members, volunteering at Camp Marengo, being a tour guide for bus trips, delivery of sermon cassettes to homebound church members, event planning, food preparation, and much more. Judy's acts of service extended outside of church walls through work with Meals on Wheels, the Red Cross, the Contact mental health and social services hotline and Operation Shoebox. Judy had a strong calling for serving the poor and often helped the homeless and other people in need.
Judy was a member of many church and civic groups. She was a member of the Missionary Ladies Group, Faith Builders Sunday School, Eastside Church of God Women's Group, The Villages Sunday Tea Club and The Villages Ohio Club. She regularly attended the NEO Church of God Camp Meeting.
Judy loved to travel throughout her whole life. She visited Disney World over 40 times and even made her way to Alaska and Hawaii. In her later years, she spent her winters at The Villages in Florida as a snowbird. Judy loved the Ohio State Buckeyes football team and claimed she never missed a game. She celebrated her 80th birthday and her 60th wedding anniversary by fulfilling her dream of attending a Buckeyes game in person.
It was said by many that Judy never met a stranger.
