Judy was a loving mother, caring friend, animal lover, and called “Nana” by all. Judy and her husband Newton loved to garden in the spring, and their rose bushes were the pride of the block. As a faithful servant of Jehovah, she enjoyed gathering with her friends and preaching the good news. She served her community by running a loving and nurturing daycare for 16 years. Judy touched the lives of many, and she will truly be missed by all.
