So sorry to hear this…Judy was a very special person. I worked with Judy for many years at Public Service of Indiana, now Duke Energy. Was a great person to talk to. She will be missed.
Will miss you, Judy! But we’ll meet again! ❤️ You were a good sister/friend/advisor/adventurer! Always having fun. Hugs to the kids. It’s a difficult one; and you will certainly be missed. Love ya, Kiddo!
My deepest and heartfelt sympathy goes out to the entire family.
Judy was a very special co-worker and friend. I worked with Judy for many years at Public Service of Indiana, now Duke Energy. Judy was always a great person to talk to and always ready to listen. Our friendship went beyond work we continued to be friends throughout her life. I will truly miss Judy, a beautiful, faithful, fun-loving and very much loved her family lady. Heaven gained a beautiful Angel.
What a honor to have known such a grand lady. Her love of God, family and friends was endless. Sending love and prayers to all who will miss her precious smile and kind heart. Cathy (Dana’s Mom) ❤️🙏🏼
Judy is such a very special lady. Always interested in others. Always believing the best. Always talking of her beloved children and grandchildren. Instead of being bitter that she lost her beloved Marsh so early, she would be thrilled for Frank and I whenever we got to do something exciting in our retirement. I know she heard a wonderful choir of angels singing of her victory over the grave! I know she is now in the presence of her dear Lord and Savior, Jesus and worshipping around God’s throne!! In this way I am so happy for our dear, dear Judy.

Judy and my Dad, Manuel White, were good friends until he passed in 2010. He also attended First United Methodist Church of Mooresville. He went on mission trips also. I heard of at least 1 that they both attended. I thought she was a wonderful lady and she was so sweet to my sister Sara and myself. Our loss and Heaven is gaining a grand lady.
Judy was the most sweetest, caring person I knew. My husband and I will surely miss her.

Judy was an exceptional lady. She seemed to always have time to stop and talk, to listen and give a hug. She was such a sweet person. We will miss seeing her. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. – Randy and Karen Harmon
Both of these photos were taken on March 26, 2022. My favorite cousin, Judy, joined us, my whole family, for a private showing of my favorite movie. I always knew that Judy considered me special and I considered her special in return. We both knew that each of us loved the other. I will miss her, but I know she is at peace.

Dearest ,
I just found out that your sweet Mother passed away. Judy was my dental patient (Dr Fischer)for 30 years. She touched my life and my heart she will be truly missed. She always had a listening ear and she was so supportive of this young Mom, she always knew how to encourage me. I also loved how she shared her family memories with us. I’m so sorry for missing her services, but I did get to Celebrate her 80th Birthday with her, I will always keep her memory close to my heart.
Love In Him, Sue Bau
