I knew Judi during my tour of duty in Okinawa, Japan in the mid 1980’s. She was always so effervescent and upbeat…a real joy to know. And, with good reason, she was always so proud of her boys. We had lost touch but recently reconnected through her volunteer work at the food pantry where she coincidentally met my sister.
My condolences to her family… she was a kind soul taken too soon and will be sorely missed by all of those who knew her.

I am so sorry for your loss.
I worked with Judi for many years at Hallmark. She spoke with such love and affection for her family. I know how much she loved going to Ocean City. And her vacations to Mexico. Her appreciation of the theater got me to also volunteer at the Fulton.
Rest in peace, dear friend. 🩷
