I worked with Judy for only four years but we became close friends. She was funny and great to work with. We could tell each other anything. I loved her and miss her very much.
What can I say, She was my dearest and longest friend. Oh the memories I have. We had a lot of fun and some how got out of a pickle a time or two. We were separated by miles most of the trip, but always stayed in touch. We sometimes didn't agree but had respect to keep our opinions to ourselves. Judy, I wish we would have shared one more adventure. Fly High and we will see each other someday. Love you, from you silly friend Denise
I always loved coming into Opie’s and Judy always telling me “good morning” no matter the time of day. She was my favorite person to work with!

I worked with Judy for 5 years. I’d like to say we were buddies from the start but both are strong personalities clashed at times. We would often debrief about our little tats and would always leave the conversation laughing. Before I left for another job we were definitely friends. She would give me advice and gifts here and there. Last time I seen her I called her for help with a sewing machine (one of her own that she gifted to me). We lost connection on the call and instead of Judy calling me back, she showed up at my house! Helped me fix my sewing machine in 2 minutes and stayed till the sun went chatting. At the time I remember thinking “man, I need to get dinner started” but I’m glad I decided to skip cooking and order some fast food. I’ll cherish those 3-4 hours we spent talking about our life’s and things that drive us up the wall and things that have made us smile and everything in between. I’ll smell ya later Mrs Judy!
