As a wife, Momma and Granny, Judy poured her heart into creating a loving and faith filled home. Her faith, love, kindness, compassion and unmatched sense of humor are only a few of the many qualities she will be remembered for. Judys family was her greatest accomplishments and she never missed an opportunity to brag on each and everyone of them. Judy never met a stranger and that was evident everywhere she went. She loved all her friends, her neighbors, Mexican food, and she especially loved her Dallas Cowboys. Her church of 28 years was her second home and she loved her Church 360 family immensely.

As a family we will always carry forward her legacy of love and resilience.
