Judy was my best friend from way back when we both worked at Illinois Bell. We spoke occasionally during the year but I thought of her quite frequently. She was a loving friend and I'll miss her dearly. I hadn't heard from her around the holidays, so I knew something was wrong. If I had known, I would have most definitely attended her service. Rest in peace my best friend. Love, Gertie

My condolences to Ed, Susan, and Maureen

I first met Judy 20 years ago when we started the Sacred Heart Singles. Since then we have become wonderful friends. So many memories of Kingdom Weekends, Sacred Heart Single events, casino outings, dinners or breakfast together, Super Bowl parties, trips to Ireland, and Alaska.
Also volunteering together in numerous roles.

What I will miss most is that we were each other's Prayer Warriors. I could always ask Judy for extra prayers and her response would be: I'm already on it".
I'm sure going to miss my buddy!

My prayers are with you Ed, Susan, and Maureen during this most difficult time!

Love, Trish

Judy was a "special soul"! She lived directly upstairs of us in our condo but most of our visits took place mornings at the junior college fitrec center where she exercised each morning. I will miss her joy for life and caring spirit.....so glad we knew her.....
