Judy was born on December 19, 1947 in Chicago, Ill to the late Henry William Rosenthal, Jr.
and June Sundstrom Rosenthal. She grew up in the city and attended Southern Illinois
University.
She was a dedicated member of numerous Bible studies over the years, served on the board
of Interact and was a member of the Seed and Sod garden club. Judy had a love of travel and
a keen eye for design and the arrangement of interiors. She was the ultimate hostess and was

a loyal friend.

Berti and husband James of Lake Geneva, WI. JuJu was very proud of her five grandchildren who also survive her, Henry and Gray Blondeau and Turnage, Anderson and Ann Barrett Monk, all of Raleigh.
