Judy was one of  my  favorite sisters from another Mother. When I was down and out, she picked me up, dusted me  off and and made me start all over again. I cherished her smile and grand sense of fun..  I still miss he r so much. 

Love and hugs to the family, Lynn Mallette

So sorry to learn of Judy's passing. I worked with her and Gernard in Salem, Ohio in a couple of local theater groups. They were both so talented, and especially supportive and kind to me. Those were fun and formative years. May she rest in peace and power.

Judy gave me chance in 1982 by hiring me at the Rochester Board
of REALTORS. She was not only my boss and mentor, but a long time friend.  Gernard taught me how to use a computer! Judy taught me to never give up. 
We shared many fun memories with so many of the REALTORS in
Rochester.  I had a lifetime career (34 years) because of the opportunity she gave me.  My heart and prayers go out to  Gernard and her family.  I will never forget her.


How can you put into words what a ray of sunshine, voice of reason and stellar individual meant to you?  My Aunt Judy was beyond a doubt one of the most influential women in my life. I adored her (and always felt like she did me). She had music in her voice when she spoke or laughed.  And the emails and Facebook posts kept me close to her, even when I couldn't see her.  She will be deeply missed by all who love her.  She loved her family with a love that could best be captured with the words "Mama Bear"... and I will never forget her favorite song that she often sang with  Uncle Gernard..."I got you Babe".  

We spent many hours exercising at the zoo (OPC) at 6:30 a.m. three days a week.  We had many things in common regarding the happy and sad times we have had through our lives with our families and relatives.
You are going to be sadly missed by  Ron and I and your family.  You are no longer hurting as God will take care of you now.

Blessings to your family always.

Judy was a very special person. My parents and our family have known her for 50 years. When my family moved to Canfield, Ohio when I was a sophomore in high school they also moved to Salem, Ohio. When we moved back to Romeo, Michigan, they came a little later to Rochester, Michigan. When I had Alicia, Judy gave me a baby shower.  She always had been there when we needed her. She was there when my Mom died with her support. You will be missed.

I enjoyed my time with Judy.  A faithful friend, a loving spirit and beautiful smile.   She was one of my favorite "partners  in crime". Carry on my sweet friend. I will miss you forever. 

To Judy's loving family,  you now  have your very own heavenly Angel watching over all of you.


Our Dearest Judy,
You started our days with "Today Is",  then brightened our mornings with your beautiful smile.  We could always count on you for addresses and phone numbers, when needed.  How you had everyones  info, we will never know.   You were our Captain and kept everyone in the loop.  A beloved leader who will be so missed by each and everyone of us.  Your footprints are all over our hearts and will remain there forever.

Always your "Zooites",

Bobbie, Brian, Don, Joan, Art, Pat, Marlee, Ed, Horst, Bob and Shirley

p.s. We will celebrate you birthday in April, as requested.

Although I understand and accept, there will always be a piece of my heart missing; as I move on.  Judy gave more than she received in every relationship, doing so gladly!  What a lady!

Rest In Peace Judy.  A more kind, intelligent and funny person I have never met. Always a kind word sprinkled in with sarcasm and truth, she has helped me write resume’s and supported me in many situations, my whole life, and I always look forward to Her dialogue through cards or email or in person. Especially in person with a Mom hug and a smiling face and words of wisdom. I feel blessed to have known her.

I remember how kind  Judy was to me and my family, what fun we had at her parties,talking with her and Gernard, and  how she kept us up on family events and  her jovial  short  stories!  May God bless her and her family.

Saddened to hear of Judy's passing. We have many fond memories of the Waugh family while we lived in Salem. Humor, singing and and friendship was abundant in their home. A great loss  Love Carol and Terry  Casey

Rest in peace my beautiful friend. My heart aches knowing we'll no longer see your glorious smile, feel your warmth and kindness, howl at your humor and take comfort in your counsel. A bright lite is gone from the "zoo", but amazing memories (and hundreds of pictures!) live on. Till we meet again my special friend and beautiful soul, please know you're in my heart forever. And to your family my heartfelt condolences.

Judy will be so deeply missed. I’ve had the privilege of knowing her for 50 yrs.  She was brilliant, kind, caring, thoughtful and....that smile!  She lit up the room. I remember her traveling to be with us at Alicia’s Art School exhibit. I think since Mom was already gone, she thought she would step in. It was so thoughtful and so Judy. She was one extraordinary woman.  Peace and love, Judy. ❤️

Good Bye my dear friend Judy.  Over the years we have traveled together, met at conventions, shared our ups and down, sometimes even talked everyday. We laughed, we've cried.   I don't know how I will face life without your quiet level headed advice.  We knew this day would come but not so fast.  Please make a place for me.  I will be there in the future. Love, Peace and Light. Suze

Thank you, Grandma, for always taking TONS of pictures at every family event, and proceeding to email us 10+ times so that we could have each and every one in good quality. I will miss those emails.
