Judy was an active member and volunteer at St. Jacobi Ev. Lutheran Church.  She is fondly remembered for her love of the Lord, her family, and her church.  She always kept everyone up-to-date on family happenings.  She loved to read and especially loved to be with her husband.  Even though she struggled with mobility as she aged, she still managed the house with the help of her husband.  They were blessed to be able to stay together in their own home.  Church and devotions were a significant part of their life.
