Judy was a loving wife, mother, and friend. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints always looking forward to Sundays for a chance to worship, visit with friends, and practice her faith. Judy loved gardening, cooking, sewing, canning, quilting, and walks with her dog. She was fascinated by the healing ability of herbs, their uses, and health benefits.  She loved visiting with family and friends on her front porch swing having countless conversations there and always accompanied by her trusty dog Lilly.

After her husband’s death, she returned to work for the Veterans Administration in Salt Lake City. She enjoyed her time there and was honored to work for and serve our nations veterans. She retired in 2004 after a stroke left her unable to see well enough to continue to work.
