Judy was a great nurse and a dear friend. We worked together in ICU at WRMC and she always carried her load of work plus some. I’m much older than her so I’ve been out of touch with most everyone in nursing but I have such sweet memories of her. So sad. My prayers go out to her family and friends.

Judy was my aunt, sister to my Mother Marsha. I knew Judy to be a kind and loving woman. Judy was also wise and had a strong backbone. She wasn’t the type to take no guff from anyone. I know Judy loved her family and friends with all her might. I pray Judy is at peace and has met the loving arms of God as she is with her Sisters and Mother again.
