Judy attended Mount Vernon High School and spent several years as a homemaker raising her eight children, mostly as a single parent. For many years, she worked in the kitchen at Northside Manor and Country Court Nursing Homes. In her younger years, she was an avid bowler and enjoyed the bowling league playing alongside her sister Patty. She enjoyed living life and having fun. She liked to cook, crochet, and go to yard sales and flea markets. Over the years, Judy had collections of unique beer cans, magnets, keychains, but most dear to her was her large collection of Coca Cola memorabilia. Judy liked to watch her favorite television shows and cheer for her Ohio and Carolina sport teams. She had a heart of gold when it came to her dog and cat companions. Her favorite family activity was playing LCR, giving all players a run for their money. Most importantly, Judy enjoyed spending time with her friends and family and tried her best to support and follow all their busy activities.
