Judy was big about family and loved her family very much. She enjoyed being outside and loved flower gardens. She enjoyed fishing. In her younger years she had her own beauty shop in her basement, she enjoyed cutting hair. She then became a CNA and worked as one for many years until retirement. She enjoyed staying busy. She also enjoyed time with her grand fur babies, Sadie, and Bailey. She spent time watching soap operas in her later years and had a huge love for God. She enjoyed watching butterflies and hummingbirds outside. Judy had a heart of gold and loved lending a hand when she could.
Judy was a wonderful mother, and we will miss her dearly.
Per her wishes cremation has been accorded and no services will be held.
