In lieu of flowers or money, please donate to VITAS Hospice Care in Naples, Florida (or your local hospice facility) or to your favorite charity. Judy dedicated her life as a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. All who met her just fell in love with her. She was kind, caring and generous. Judy was an avid golf player which is how she and her husband spent most of their retired time. (She even had a hole-in-one while playing in a golf league!) Our hearts will forever ache now that she's gone.
To sum up how much she meant to her husband, below is his tribute to her:
My beautiful wife, Judy, left for heaven to meet our son, Reno. She brought so much joy and happiness to all that met her. Her friendly personality, great smile and pleasant laugh was contagiously welcoming. I will miss her every minute of every day until I meet her again. From the first time I saw her walking down Libby Road in Ohio, Judy was destined to be my soulmate.These 62 years have been better than I could have dreamed. Judy gave me three amazing children, helped me through the passing of our son, my sister, mother, father and other losses. To me Judy was the most beautiful and kind person. My heart will never be full of love until I meet Judy again. Every time I looked at Judy, it put a smile on my face and warmth in my heart.
GOODBYE MY LOVE!
Emery
