She was also active in the Girl Scouts as a child and a leader with her daughter later in life.

Judy was also a great wife and mom and a wonderful cook and the time we spent with her will always be treasured.

Honey, You looked so peaceful that last morning we had together, no more pain, no more wondering, what is going to happen next! You're home with God, mom and dad and your brothers Dave and Mike. Grow your wings and I'll be coming some day and be with you forever. I love you, Love always Hal.

Mom, I am who I am today because of you. You taught me so much I can't even begin to thank you. I am so proud of you and how you persevered through many difficult times the last five years. I miss you so much and will never forget your smile! Rest in peace mom until we meet again, I love you mom, Connie
