She was Grandma Great to Harrison and Sally True.

Rosalie Murphy from Sun CVity Center, FL
"I am so happy to have known Judie, even if it was for a short time. We had fun playing golf together! We sang all the while we were playing. If I didn't know the words of a song, she knew them and vice versa. I still have a picture of our golf foursome on my wall and there it shall remain. Judy brought sunshine into the life of everyone she touched. She will be missed by both friends and family.Sincere sympathy to you Frank. You were truly her rock and, I'm sure. brought much comflort to her during her illness."
Carolyn Clark from Sun City Center, FL
"I always enjoyed Judie’s enthusiasm and energy. It was fun playing golf with her—she had a song for every occasion."
