Merle and Family. I am so sorry for your loss. Judy taught me much about food storage and cutting coupons. The times we shared on camping trips and square dancing are great memories. She and Terry are sporting perfectly healthy bodies and surely dancing with our Savior in Heaven. God Bless, Lori Mitchell

Judy tried to teach me how to knit when I lived by her as a child. She was a one of the mother's in our neighborhood who was interested in all of us. My memories of her are all wonderful.

As a next door neighbor, Judy was excellent. She was a great teacher when I was learning how to knit. She took a turn as a Cub Scout den mother, and mentored a young wife & mother. She also loaned me canned goods when I was in the middle of a recipe, and discovered that I was out.
Sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Dale & Myra
