After an impressive 35-year career at Airgas, where she served as a manager. She was a proud black belt in Karate and instilled a sense of determination and excellence in those around her.

Everything in her life was special, and she had an unparalleled ability to turn the ordinary into extraordinary moments. From daily dinners to celebratory events, Judy made every gathering memorable and filled with joy.

She took great pride in pushing her loved ones to realize their full potential, exemplifying what it meant to be nurturing and supportive.

Judy had an enduring passion for dogs, showing her generous heart through her love for her pets. She delighted in trips to Myrtle and Daytona beaches, where sun and sea brought her immense pleasure.
