Judy was an accomplished musician. She loved music and was a gifted singer with a beautiful mezzo-soprano voice. She sang with the Cincinnati Symphony and the Dallas Chorus. Her voice was truly a God given gift.

Judy loved being with people and had a natural talent and flare for arranging or performing for social events. She loved to cook and she loved being a mother. Most of all Judy loved her children and had great times at Kentucky Lake fishing, swimming, boating, and water skiing.

Judy had a vivacious personality. She was known for her big smile, her laugh, and her mischievousness. Her untimely and early passing is painful and tragic for all who knew and loved her. The void in our hearts from her absence will only heal when we see her again in heaven. We love you Judy.
