Judy had a smile that could light up a room and a wonderfully contagious laugh to go with it. She was one of the most positive people you could have ever known and always showed so much compassion for everyone she knew. Judy came from a big extended family and always did her best to stay in touch with them all. Family always came first for her, and she would do anything for them. An avid reader her whole life, she always seemed to be jumping into a new book. Judy was also a huge supporter of her sons and loved seeing them succeed in their professional endeavors. John and her three sons will always remember her for her beautiful, kind spirit as well as the unconditional love she showed for them.
