     She was an active, lively woman, always moving and on the go. Judy loved shopping, and dancing. She was a devoted family woman, helped with her children’s activities and 4-H when they were growing up. No one had anything negative to say about her, and when you were in her presence you would see her contagious smile, feel her energy, and understand that lively personality that would endear her to you.
