She retired from Barkleigh Productions in Mechanicsburg after which she worked at Gross’s Deli in the West Shore Farmers Market . Judy was a long-time member of Saint Peter Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg and a life-time member of the “grammar police”, as her children know well.

Judy’s grandchildren were the apples of her eye and she never missed an opportunity to celebrate their lives and accomplishments. She enjoyed oil painting, gardening, reading and she was a huge Johnny Mathis fan.
