I was so sad to see Judy had passed away today. I knew Judy when she worked at Western Union. My mom, Vivian, also worked with Judy. We used to go out and had so much fun. Mom & I also knew Gerry & would visit especially when she had a garage sale. Mom passed away in June, so now most of the good ol' Western Union folks are in heaven and at peace. God rest her precious soul. Judy was such a good person, witty and caring. Prayers to you all.

Working with Judy was fun. Getting to know Judy was the reward. So many of the other comments in this thread reveal many truths about her, and I'm sure she's getting a kick out of reading them - She's probably looking over our shoulders as we write, and making a few smart comments along the way - You can hear her voice if you listen closely enough. Knowing Judy meant you knew how much her family meant to her, how desperately she missed her sister, how much she cared for her mother and the entertainment she got from her dog Josie. Judy's presence in this world will be missed. Peace and Blessings to her family.

Judy;
During a difficult time in my life, you were there for me. We laughed together, because it was better than crying. You liked to present a gruff, tough exterior, but you were a softie. I miss you.

Judy was such a wonderful friend. I'll remember her especially at Halloween, Judy came up with the best costumes, we waited to see what she would dress up "this time". When she came as a picnic table... what a sense of humor.
Judy loved to X-stitch, we would exchange patterns.
Judy's garden was her joy and relaxation.
Judy loved her family dearly, wanted to make things better for them all.
Judy is missed from work, she took care of everyone, lived, loved and laughed.
God bless your soul Judy, I know your family welcomed you home.

Our thoughts are prayers are with you all. Judy will be dearly missed by the many people whose lives have been touched by her over the years. As you know Judy was so full of love for those she cared about and at the same time she was stubborn as can be. Our lives have been deeply touched by her and we'll always cherish the memories we shared at Agricredit.
May God's love and peace be with you during this time.
