Judy moved to Houston, Texas in 1963 to attend school and work at T.J. Bettes Company. In 1968, she began working for Gerald Hines Interests, starting out at the Galleria location.

Ethics and doing the right thing were always front and center, in her personal life as well as her career.

Everyone Should Have An "Aunt Judy"
Everyone should have an Aunt Judy.
Birthdays and special occasions, you were always there.
A birthday card, handwritten, with loving care.
Always a lady, manners were a must.
It was "yes ma'am" and "thank you", don't make me fuss!
We grew up watching "That Girl" on TV.
That is what Aunt Judy was to me.
A girl from the country that moved away.
For she was an example, hard work does pay.
All though we didn't see each other every day,
You were just a phone call away.
Comforting words, inspiring stories,
How did this busy lady have no worries?
I'm off to church, you would say
Have to sing in the choir today.
What an honor it was for me,
to be with you at your time of need,
Your strength was unbelievable,
you never complained.
I will never forget your caring way, and how we prayed on that last day.
Your eyes said you were ready,
peaceful in every way.
And on that night, Jesus took you away.
I Love You Aunt Judy... your Niece Cheryl
