Judy enjoyed life to its FULLEST! She loved traveling around the world, attending concerts, zip lining, bungee jumping and whatever other adventures came her way.
Judy is survived by her children, Blair Steven (Michelle) Burdick II, Joseph Richard (Kirsten) Burdick and Eva-Marie Lynn (Benjamin) Gomez; grandchildren, Austin, Haley, Nathaniel and Kaitlyn; siblings, Deborah Reynolds, Robert (Jackie) Reynolds, Matt Reynolds and Tracy Reynolds; and a host of extended family and wonderful friends.

Every moment spent with Judy was fun! I knew her from ROTC and I'm grateful to have found her again. She was a wonderful, beautiful woman, who gave her all to everything she did. She had a huge heart, and the ability to empathize with anyone. She always had witty, funny things to say, no matter the situation. She'll be greatly missed.
