Judy owned a business alongside her mother, Ruth, called S & G Business Associates for many years where they rented out various mailing lists. One account they notably held for a long time was with Miles Laboratory and Bayer, something the pair were very proud of.

In their younger years, Judy and Ernest moved to Florida and lived there for over 21 years. In that time, they enjoyed boating together, owning four vessels of their own and creating many lifelong memories that Judy cherished. In Ernest's words, Judy was the best first mate and navigator to have aboard and he adored spending time with her out on the water.

In her spare time, Judy was passionate about cooking and baking. She was known as the 'best cook on the planet' by many, especially when it came to her chocolate chip cookies, spaghetti, roast beef, and fried chicken. These dishes and treats were shared with many and brought loads of smiles and full bellies to those she loved.

Judy will best be remembered as a wonderful and loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. She was a loyal and trustworthy soul who always wanted the best for others. Her, along with her love and joy, will be dearly missed by those whose hearts she touched throughout her life.
