Judy was a member of our Gamma Phi Beta, Beta Upsilon Chapter, Kansas State U, Class of 1959. Such a vibrant personality, infectious sense of humor and caring lady was Judy. I can still see her with tall, handsome Tom back there in the late 50’s! Your message has now reached Judy’s pledge class on April 14, 2010. We shall miss her at future reunions.
Tom and Family: We had her in our prayers but the Lord God we love said it was time. Her memories will comfort you but its certain we will all miss her. She was such a warm person and clasmate. Punky
Judy always had such a wonderful, warm smile. What an inspiration and beautiful person.
My condolences to the Family and relatives.
one particular memory I have of Judy is her practice of setting aside time for each individual child.
more of us should do that.

I worked with Judy at USC in the early 90’s. What a joy she was to be around – always positive and and a smile on her face. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We remember what a positive person Judith was, never sitting in judgment on anyone and always thinking of others. We will miss her loving ways. We are unable to attend the service due to illness but will be thinking of you.
Tom Howard & Family,
Our prayers and condolences go out to you during this time of loss. Judith was a loving and faithful mate & partner; a loving caring and devoted mother & grandmother; and a wonderful sister. May God comfort you and your family. Matt. 5:4, “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
Long after the tears are gone, beautiful memories will remain.

I worked with Judy for about 10 years at USC and my husband Brian and I were members at First Presbyterian Church during the same period. She was a lovely person and I am very saddened by this news. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
