Dear Becky, Suzanne and Lanny,
I first met your mom and sister in the late 60s when she joined us for cards and later as a SDoL building assistant in the schools I worked in. She always cared deeply for the students she assisted in the classroom and on the playground. After her retirement I would get together with her twice a year at the Fulton Retirees lunch last seeing her 11/19. A wonderful and giving person…Dave and Rochelle Rentschler

I remember Judy from working at Armstrong. I started in 1957, Judy was probably a year older. She was always friendly and helpful. The funny thing I remember is that Judy snacked on dried apricots. I had never heard of them, but came to realize they were quite tasty. I send my sincere condolences to all of Judy’s family.
