Judy's Strength and resilience, instilled love, structure, courage, and strength in her children and dedicated them all to the Lord. Judy endured many sacrifices willingly to raise her children and gave of herself to all, never expecting anything in return.

Judy loved to run and dance and garden. She was a spark plug. Together with Sonny made a neat couple.

It was pure joy to help care for you Mother at Brookdale. She brought so much beauty, compassion, fun, zest and more every day to every activity. I looked forward to each day to her morning greetings, and her smile. I will never forget her lovely singing voice and when she sang with "Elvis", danced to the 50's, and kicked my butt in volleyball, and not to mention her good and loving heart. She will be dearly missed, but always will remain forever in our hearts. 💜

That was a beautiful tribute to your mom. Judy attended our church in Melrose a number of years. She was a hard worker. She went to Ecuador with us on a mission trip and was so fun to have with and we enjoyed her fellowship. One of the memories of the mission trip was when part of our group climbed to the top of the mountain and Judy was with them. Along the way there was some common berry (my husband and I can't remember the kind) but they were large and abundant at the high altitude. Judy talked about how healthy they were for a person and she ate a lot of them. She discovered that berries at that high altitude were very potent and she suffered the consequences for a day. We also "LOVED" their sweet corn. We agree, "it was the best". Judy loved Jesus and it was very evident in her life. She prayed for her children and loved them very much. We are glad she is in heaven with Jesus. Prayers for your families. We have moved to Kansas because of health issues but wanted to send you our condolances. Rev. George and Bev Jaderston
