Sympathies extended to Judy’s family. Being a previous neighbor of Judy’s in Millhopper Station, I would see Judy frequently and we would visit when she was driving past my home. A sweet lady with a great smile. She was a busy lady in her retirement life.
Judy I’m so happy to call you my friend ❤️????. The lady with the biggest heart. We will miss you ????
I was so sorry to see this. I worked with Judy at Englewood Bank and Trust in the early 80’s. She was always so much fun. Please know your family is in my prayers.
Judy’s smile will be missed! We worked together at Englewood Bank & Trust in the early 80’s. Judy was such a big part of the fun we all had working together! My condolences to all of Judy’s family! ❤????
Judy and Jim were our neighbors in Lindenhurst for many years. Our two Children James and Kelli went to kindergarten together. They were wonderful neighbors and we regretted to see them move to Florida. Rich and I send our deepest sympathies to the family for their loss.
I am so very sorry for your families loss. I had the great privilege of working witb Judy in southwest Florida at the bank. She was an amazing woman and influenced so many lives.
I am so sorry to hear this news. Judy and I were friends in Lindenhurst a long time ago, before she and Jimmy had their son. I remember when he was born. We lost touch for many decades but just “found” each other on Facebook and I was so happy to reconnect. Don’t know the details but am truly sorry for your loss. She will be remembered for sure.
My thoughts and prayers to Jim and the whole family. Judy was a wonderful person who always had a bright smile. She will be missed by all that knew her.
I am so sorry to hear about Judy. I knew her from Bank in Englewood and Englewood Bowling Alley. She was a wonderful person and had sure a Grand personality. My prayers go out to the Family and Friends. She surely will be missed!!! What a GREAT LADY!!!!
Even if I was in a bad mood, Judy could put a smile on my face. She was the first one to say hi and wave. Judy always made you feel like family. I will miss her laugh, her cheering on all her boys. She made Ozzy feel like she was his grandma! Judy loved life and everyone in it, she made me want to be like her. She left way too soon, I’m so sorry for the loss of this family. Love and blessings to you.
Very sorry to hear this about Judy. She was very close and worked. at the bank in Englewood and bowled with my mom Addie for many years. I remember her beautiful smile and warm ways. My heart goes out to Jim. She will be missed for sure.
We loved your spirit, laughter, and you exuded warmth and caring. We always felt “home” around you. I wish we had time to make more memories. You shared the best ride ever on the ‘tilt o whirl’ – ever. Love you, and you are forever in our hearts…the Vance Family. ????????????
