“Well done good and faithful servant”
Judy was one of a kind and there will be a great void here on earth but great celebrations in heaven! Judy was a beautiful person inside and out and touched so many lives including mine. I will forever be grateful for the examples that Judy displayed to me of a true follower of Jesus. She forever touched my life and I am so grateful to have known her.
I am very sorry for your loss and praying for peace for your family.
Judy Doi says
Judy taught me so many times how to be a true servant of the Lord. She showed love to me and to my daughter as we served together on many Walk to Emmaus weekend retreats. I will cherish my memories of sweet cheerful Judy.
I pray for your family during this time of tremendous loss.

Judy touched my life from the first time I met her. I was so honored that she was my Matron in Honor when I was married in 1973. I have always loved this gal as well as her love of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Heaven is a brighter place thanks to Judy!

Just heard of our loss of Judy. She was a wonderful person and one of the sweetest girls in our Decatur High School class. My wife and I send our most sincere condolences to her family. She will be missed.
Joe "Pat" Patrick says
Judy and I shared the apprehensions of first day in 1st grade at Winnona Park and the celebration 12 years later of graduation from Decatur High. Our paths of friendship crossed many times. Judy always wanted to be part of planning for our reunions, every 5 years without fail, even when she wasn’t well, she was there. What a great lady.
