Thinking of my dear friend Judye. She was an amazing professional and person with a wonderful sense of humor. I was blessed to spend time with her, her mother, and brother Jim at a few dinners on the Las Vegas strip. We always had a blast! I miss you and know that you are flying free in Heaven. Much love to all of the family!!

I met Judye working at Mid-Continent years ago. She was always a professional. We became such great friends and I have always loved her family. She was one of my bridesmaids at my wedding. I am saddened by her loss. I could not be more proud of her son Jimmy Don and the amazing man he has become with his family and his business life. . So many great stories and such great laughter. Bless you all.

Judye may you rest in Heaven !!!
I met Judye in 2004 working for Caesars Ent and Judye was one of the women I looked up to, I would help her with mailing packages by me working in the Mail room I would send Boxes for her to Memphis and was going to visit her this summer on a Memphis trip I had planned and told Judye the last time I saw her that I would be there this summer and I'm coming by to see her ... the last time she was here she had her grandchildren with her whom I met before and she was so happy and she had me to take a picture of her and her grandchildren... I talked to Judye on Holidays and the last time I saw her is when she came to Las Vegas after she had moved... I'm going to miss you judye Prater and that was a name that everyone knew and everyone will never forget because she was a long time Caesars employee and a very strong minded person . Judye I wish I could have gotten one more big hug from you.... Now you are with the Angels and your mom and your brother, so no need to worry about you because you are with your family and looking down on your Son Jim and his Wife and your Grandchildren and may God bless your family to give them the strength at this sad time ..
I will miss you my Friend forever

My condolences to Judye's family. I had the opportunity to work with her for many, many years at Caesars Entertainment. We not only worked together but went out for lunch or dinner when we could. She was a one-of-a-kind strong, willed woman and I'm deeply saddened that she has been taken away from this world. However, she is now among the angels looking down on all of us and is at peace. Wishing all her family and friends so much love and light.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Judye's passing. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. May God's grace give you strength during this difficult time.
There are so many memories of our times together etched in my heart, I can't even begin to recount. The many times we laughed until we cried and the times we just cried. She was always stronger and braver than I. I envied that. She was, in so many ways, like a sister.
I will miss you my sweet friend.
