To all who knew, and love Judy knew without any doubt that she was the most unconditionally loving, unconditionally caring and unconditionally forgiving woman her babies and many others have ever encountered. Judy had a lifelong career as a seamstress, 1st at The Shirt Factory then American Bag Co-operation who worked her way up to a supervisory role. Judy was always seeking to improve herself by completing her GED 1 year after her eldest daughter did and she also went to college for a while, always adding to her knowledge. Judy was Christian, strong believer in Jesus Christ, God, and the Holy Spirit. She sought to walk as closely to her values as she could, but to err is to be human. She worked so hard to do her best by all of us and we will live daily to do our best by her. Rest easy our Mom, Momma, and Momma Bear.
