Judy attended Fathers Healing Heart church in Bucyrus. She loved painting on canvas, and had even attended the school of Norman Rockwell. She had quite the green thumb, and grew everything from flowers to vegetables. She most recently had worked as a biscuit maker at Hardees and absolutely loved that job, but she had also cleaned at the Lutheran church in crestline for a number of years. She will be deeply missed by all that knew her.
