Condolences to the Family

Hello: I am late to this, but wanted to say that I had the great pleasure of working with Judy at Armstrong. She had a thankless job but you would never know it by the smile on her lovely face and the kind spirit that she showed to all. I’ve also had the pleasure of riding bikes with her son in law Rick, a treat all of its own. I wish the family well and delight in all the good memories of Judy.

I have so many good memories coming to visit My Aunt Judy and Uncle Bob and my 3 cousins after moving out of Pennsylvania. Judy and Bob and their uplifting and smiling attitudes always made me and later my family remember feeling so welcome. May my Aunt Judy finally be pain free and peaceful in heaven. We wish you all the best Uncle Bob as you go forward enjoying all that life had to offer!

I remember Judy when she lived in Homeland and went to Manheim Township HS. Her sister, Melinda, was a good friend of mine. It sounds as though Judy remained the same sweet, authentically good and caring person she seemed to be even as a young girl. We need more people like Judy in the world.
