    My sincere condolences to the family of Judy. When I was younger, she was a good friend to me and always lent an ear when I needed someone to talk to. Many times she was my hope and strength. My prayers are with her family during this sad time.

    My deepest sympathy goes out to Judy’s Family. We spent many days together when we were little girls and she lived across the street from me and her Grandma lived next to my Grandma on Ohio Ave. Such good memories. Glad I got to visit with her about a year ago. Janey Baker Ogle, Ashland, Ohio

    Judy was a good friend to my sister Nancy, and that is how we became acquainted. In our early years of being married we visited with her often and had some really fun times together. I remember her laughter, smiles and her good and kind hearted nature. Later as our children got older our daughters became friends in High School. I recently saw Judy at my youngest sisters funeral and we talked. She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her. God’s Blessings to her family at this difficult time!

    I grieve for Judy’s family for they have lost a great mom, grandparent and friend. Having growing up next door to her on Ohio Ave gives me memories to cherish forever. I will miss our friendly wars every time Ohio State plays that team up north. She loved Ben very much and is at peace with him now. Gn pl ktily . JB
