 Judy had a love for decorating and reading, and you could always find her on her porch swing with a book in her hand. Judy and Paul enjoyed traveling, especially trying to visit all the National Parks. She was very proud of her grandkids and you would always find her at all of their school or sporting events. She could always be heard cheering from the stands and loved every moment of watching them play. She enjoyed getting to know all the friends and families of the boys, Jess and Shane, and everyone loved getting to catch up with her.

Grandma Judy spent the last 14 years in Mrs. Mullen’s classroom reading and helping with any project Yvonne needed help with, and boy did they have fun.
