Growing up in Malvern Hills was a lot more fun because of Judy. She had an incredible sense of humor and knew when to use it. She was a loyal friend and I am sorry she has had to suffer so much in this life. God rest her soul.
Mary Ann – I am genuinely sorry for your loss. Please know that you are in my prayers.
I was so sorry to read about Judy’s death. I had received a Christmas card from her and we were going to do lunch. I knew she wasn’t well but I still was surprised. I don’t know if you remember but we spent a lot of Friday nights upstairs in your house during our high school years.
We knew Judy as amember of the youth group in Thrinty United Methodist Church with our daughter Charlotte

We loved Miss ‘Judy’. She will always be in our Heart. Karsten and Judy could cut up for hours about traveling and the general shape the world is in. We are thankful she is at peace now, but will miss her greatly.
