Judy grew up in Wisconsin as one of ten siblings. After she graduated high school, Judy moved to Chicago where she worked at Northwestern Electric. She was introduced to Lee at a bowling league, and had their first daughter in Chicago after they were married. They traveled around the country, living in California and then Maryland where they had their second daughter. The family moved to St. Louis for work and Judy worked as a teacher’s aide in an elementary school for twenty-five years while also raising her children.

She was fond of gardening and grew beautiful flowers. She liked to bowl, golf, and attend St. Louis Cardinals football games. Judy enjoyed traveling. Her favorite destinations were Utah’s national parks and Yellowstone. Their family trips to Florida were always a great time. Judy watched Jeopardy! every day, read often, and was known to be quick with a crossword puzzle. Above everything, Judy loved her family and was proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She truly cherished spending time with each and every one of them. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Memorials may be made in Judy's name to the American Heart Association.
