I am deeply saddened by this loss of a long time, true friend. Her bright, cheery, welcoming personality, always genuine smile with an always open door will be missed. Her love of holiday spirit and warm gatherings that left no one out and no one a stranger will be some of my fondest memories. Judy shared her heart and love and blessed so many of us in ways we may never understand, appreciate or deserve. And while our village large and small has lost a wonderful individual, I offer my sincerest condolences to her family who have undoubtedly lost the most. I cannot ease your pain but I will forever hold her dear in my heart.

I worked with Judy at kohls for 3 years. She was definitely one of a kind. She had the best and worse potty mouth. I can hear her laugh now as I write this. She loved to bake and cook. I personally loved her Keylime pie I am sad I didn't grab that recipe while she was alive. She was a blessing you will truly be missed Judy im heartbroken that I won't physically be able to say good bye to you.
