She had a green thumb and always managed to keep her many potted flowers and plants thriving. Judy also loved to crochet, making scarves and hats for her friends. She loved animals and adored the three chihuahua dogs she had during her lifetime. 

Judy was a devoted Christian and member of the Kenosha Church of Christ. A private memorial service will be held at Mt. Olivet Memorial Park in Zion. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Heart Association.
