Aunt Judy you will be missed by so many. We laughed together when you would stop by. You loved your dog so much and took it when you could. Yes I am glad you are not in pain any longer. You were so loving and caring. Definitely loved your children and all your brothers and sisters. With all my love. Deb
Lisa Shumate says
Judy, many years ago, you became my friend and then my mother in law. I’ll never forget how excited you were to be a grandma and how much you loved all of your grandbabies. We had a lot of good times throughout the years. I really miss those card playing days. It’s really hard for those of us you left behind because we love and miss you so much. I know that you are not alone because the good Lord is with you now. I know you will be waiting for us when it’s our turn to join you in Heaven.
Until we meet again,
Lisa

One of my earliest memories that I have with you maybe I was around five or six, I went to stay the night with you and I remember you making me Frosted Flakes for breakfast with a banana cut up in it, every time I eat Frosted Flakes that’s what I think about 😊
I remember my summers as a child with you always over at the house while we were swimming in our pool telling us stories until sunset on the back porch.
I still have every birthday card you’ve ever given me, unfortunately I don’t have the dollar tree Barbie dolls I would get as gifts 😂 I do still have and wear my pearl ring with the gold band you got me for my 17th birthday â¤ï¸
Let’s not forget our love for Elvis, you and grandpa frank had given me a few things that you’ve collected over the years, pictures, records, magazine clippings ect and I have and will cherish those until the end of time â¤ï¸
You shared a lot of memories with me and my family, we will continue to share those stories in your memory your gone but will never be forgotten!
Love you Grandma
