Judy and I grew up together from early years through high school. We always had a good relationship, she was smart, emotionally strong and fun to be with. From the time she got polio to the end of her life she was a strong fighter of her medical problems. I especially remember the time that she walked all the way home from Ward High School, with a couple of her girl friends, in the rain! Her mother was quite upset over that for some time. We will all miss her, but I know that now she has gone on to a very just and well earned heavenly reward. Good bye, Judy, we will all meet again, someday. Cousin Ken

What a woman! Amazing and strong! Judy and Rays sister Kay were good friends and lived a couple doors from each other on Sandusky. Judy, Kay and I all worked together at Woolworths on Minnesota Ave. and had a lot of fun together. Those were the good days when we had our boyfriends who became our husbands. Will miss seeing you Judy at Kelly’s after church. Tell your mom and Bobby hi for me. Much love coming up to heaven to you and remember us up there and hope we all get together some day in the Kingdom of God with no pain!

Margaret and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Judy, but she must have been pretty wonderful to have been your mom, Margaret. My heart goes out to you. My mom and dad were probably part of her welcoming committee up in heaven. :)
