Our Jude
It’s not often I am left speechless, but losing Judy, the words don’t flow easily. We lived through marriages, divorces, childbirth, kids schools and teenagers. We were there to help each other as we buried our parents. Day by day, all of us ( and you all knew who you are) we were each other’s therapist. But mostly we laughed! As time went on and getting older we became brave together, but mostly it was your laugh, your crazy way at looking at things. You always persevered. Your life for your kids and granddaughter will always live on. My first visual I have of you being in Heaven is how excited you must have been to see Gods gardens. You are and will always be Judy Junior to my Judy Senior???? I love you????
A friend for Life
Judy was always a friend to anyone she met. She would take you under her wing. She was a great friend to me for many years, and I will truly miss her jokes and funny personality. She will be a great Angel. Kelli

Encouraging woman
I worked with Judy at W&S. She was always quick with a joke and always smiling. Even when she was struggling and we all knew it, she would still smile and encourage all of us. She was one of the strongest and nicest women I’ve met. RIP Judy, we will all miss you. Many prayers and condolences for your family during this time.
A Beautiful Spirit
Judy was simply beautiful. She was so sweet and kind and always made me laugh. I will miss her spirit, no matter what she was going through, she did it with grace and style.
To her family, may God comfort your hearts and give peace in knowing that she is now at rest with her Lord and Savior. Rest In Peace Judy , I’ll miss you.

RIP Judy
Judy fought a good fight , she was truly an inspiration to me and others. I will miss her dearly one of a kind . I will miss her wonderful mind and her jokes, no matter how corny she always made me laugh. Heaven got a Angel.
Forever Friend
You are the true meaning of friend. It is so hard for me to imagine my life without you in it. You have been a special person to many over the years. My memories of you will live forever in my heart. My prayers are with your entire family. Rest in peace Judy

Rest Easy, Judy
I worked with Judy at Western & Southern for about 3 years in the Corporate Records department. Judy was the type of person who could make you smile whenever you needed it the most. Whether it was her affable personality, her silly and downright corny jokes, or her indomitable spirit, she was wonderful to be around. Even though my career path eventually parted from hers, I still thought about her a lot. Whenever I joined a new work area and got to know new personalities, I always found myself trying to figure out who the “Judy Hill” of my new department would be. I think that speaks to the impact she had on everyone she met, which is and was impeccable. Judy has concluded her courageous fight here on Earth, and now can rest easy. She has earned it many times over. Rest in Peace, Judy.
