But while traveling to Cape Cod she met Paul Bissinger and the couple celebrated their 51 years of marriage last year. Judy was a devoted homemaker, mother and grandmother. She loved to cook and bake for her grandchildren and enjoyed taking them on various outings around town. The family also enjoyed traveling as a group and most recently explored Disney and Hawaii. In her spare time, Judy was a devoted member of the Republican Party, volunteering and working on many campaigns the past 35 years. In addition, she was appointed by George W. Bush to the Advisory Committee on Cemetery and Memorials for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
She is survived by her mother, Sara Day; her husband, Paul; sons; David (Meg) and Peter (Chris); and her grandchildren, Joe, Mike, Luke, Hayden, Henry and Ben. Judy was preceded in death by her father and son, John Paul.
