Judith had a special place in her heart for her loyal canine companion, Hopper, whom she loved dearly.

A woman of simple pleasures, Judith found joy in the color yellow, which reflected her radiant and warm personality. Gardening was a passion that allowed her to create beauty and find solace in nature. She also found delight in watching Property Brothers on HGTV, indulging in their creative transformations and making her own plans for her home.

In her lifetime, Judith touched the hearts of many and will be remembered for her kindness, compassion, and unwavering love for her family and friends. She leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories that will forever be treasured.
