Judy was of the Christian faith and was an active member of the First Baptist Church, in Philipsburg. When she was able, she volunteered as a nursery helper, with the youth group and with church dinners. She absolutely loved God and would talk about him to others when she had the opportunity. She had the biggest heart and always found the good in people. She had an enormous love for animals. She had numerous pets since she was a young girl that included horses, cats, dogs, and the cows and pigs that were raised on the family farm.
Judy always talked about how she couldn’t wait to see Heaven someday and how amazing that it would be. The love that she had for her family is beyond words. She was their entire world just as they were to her. She left a legacy that will be remembered for generations.
Among her favorite pastimes, Judy faithfully read her Bible daily. She enjoyed baking, cooking, and looking for new recipes in her cookbooks and magazines. She enjoyed watching her favorite TV shows, taking care of her house plants and enjoying a cup of tea while sitting on the porch with her husband, “Sherm”. She also enjoyed going for rides in the car and stopping for ice cream. Judy enjoyed the simple things in life and relished the holidays when she knew that she could cook, bake and spend time with the entire family.
