A gracious homemaker, Judy was a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, and grandmother. Judy found great joy in spending time with her family hosting cookouts, holiday meals and traveling to various parks and country music concerts with her husband. Christmas was her favorite time of year. Judy was gifted at decorating her home inside and out and enjoyed shopping for all her loved ones.

Judy also worked alongside her husband as caretakers of the Campbell Mountain Girl Scout Camp in Hillsboro, along with providing nanny services to many children in the Lexington area.
A devoted follower of Christ, Judy held membership to the Hillsboro Christian Church and found peace in trusting Jesus on a daily basis. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
