Judy was born in Union Town, Pennsylvania; grew up between Pennsylvania, Tampa, Florida and Santa Clara, California. She has been a long time resident of Temple Terrace for over 40 years. To all who knew Judy, she was always buzzing around with a big smile and great spirit. She loved gardening, the birds in her back yard, taking on crafty projects and just plain fellowship. She always sought to please others before herself; a selfless wife, mother and friend. Her Christian faith always shown through and was a great influence to both her son and daughter. Her family, friends and church were top priority. This same close knit group surrounded her throughout her lifetime and two-year battle with cancer; the Temple Terrace Garden Club, Friendship Club and her Sunday School Class of First Baptist Church Temple Terrace. Her lifetime of involvement with the church and clubs brought her great joy. She always talked about the events being planned and the wonderful ladies that had become so close to her. Our family cannot express the amount of gratitude we have for her friends and church.; this is why Judy loved living in Temple Terrace. A Celebration of Life ceremony and reception will be held Tuesday at 4 pm at the First Baptist Church of Temple Terrace, 10002 North 56th Street, Temple Terrace, FL 33617.
