Judy was a lifelong lover of visual arts and a talented self-taught artist, with some of her paintings being displayed in the assisted living facility where she lived for several years. She had a green thumb and always managed to keep her many potted flowers and plants thriving. Judy also loved to crochet, making scarves and hats for her friends. She loved animals and adored the three chihuahua dogs she had during her lifetime. Judy was a devoted Christian and member of the Kenosha Church of Christ. A private memorial service will be held at Mt. Olivet Memorial Park in Zion. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Heart Association.

This is so hard to see. I know for a fact that for many years Judy had a "thing" for me and I always thought that was so very special. I know she was a devoted child of God so I will soon be able to join her and we can laugh about the times few as they were from our past memories. To family and all our other friends, she was special to all, we all thought she was a loved and special gal. God bless her family - Jack
