Judy passed away on June 30, 2009 at the age of 67 from conditions related to Parkinson's disease. She struggled with the illness for over 10 years but it never affected her zest for life. She put up a valiant fight up until the end and never complained about the basic and, often, more serious medical procedures that dotted her daily routine.
Judy graduated from Ladue Horton Watkins High School and attended the University of Missouri.
Judy was the consummate shopper and loved to both shop and buy, often daily, but certainly weekly. It was her passion. She also wanted to always be the first to eat at the newest restaurants or see the latest feature film. When she wasn't eating at a restaurant, she loved to cook at home. Before her illness prevented it, Judy and her husband Bob loved to travel and visited many countries outside the United States.
Judy had a wonderful sense of humor and an infectious laugh. Her love of family was important to her and she spent as much time with her grandchildren as was possible. During the family sing-a-longs, Judy loved to participate. She especially enjoyed the oldies from the 40's and 50's and would and could sing the melody or the harmony.
Judy worked at Lucky Lane nursery school in St. Louis County for many years and would later be a travel agent. After that she traveled locally as a sales representative in the gift field and was very successful. The gift market was a perfect fit for her.
Judy was an excellent bridge player and enjoyed those weekly games as long as her health permitted it.
Judy will be missed by her family and wide circle of loyal friends.

"Today I am choosing to celebrate my mother's life rather than morn her physical parting.
When I look around this world I realize how lucky I am to have two parents that have been so incredibly loving and selfless. They truly have set the bar high for me to achieve anywhere close to the same results with my own children. In addition, my mother has given me the greatest gift that any parent could possibly give to their child; she has taught me how to enjoy and appreciate the great benefit of life experience. Material items can come and go however the ability to both reach people on a deeper level and the ability to gain pleasure out of life experience can be one of the greatest challenges that one will face in their lifetime. Mom, thank you.
As many of you are aware my mother lived life to its fullest. Between social engagements, work and past time activities there was little time left for sleep. She had limitless energy. Socially over the years my mother cultivated a wide range of friends. She loved and valued the many unconditional relationships that she had formed throughout the years. From my vantage point she really had some great friends many of whom, even in these more challenging years, stuck by her side with frequent home visits as well as taking her out so she could still do the things she loved to do. Lunches, movies, shopping just to name a few. I thank you all for the love and care you have put forth for both of my parents. If it weren't for you these past a couple of years would never have been the level of quality that you afford our immediate family. On the hobby side, "Jude" (as I would refer to her) was very passionate about reading, cooking, traveling, theater, and movies. Several of these items I also very much enjoy so we had the opportunity to share these common interests with one another. In particular, over the years I have developed an interest for cooking. My mom loved to cook and even more, loved to eat. One of the experiences I value most was Sunday night dinners at our house. I will very much miss these almost weekly get togethers. When it came to shopping, my mother paired her style as vibrant as her personality. Most of the local retailers and my mom where on a first name basis. Always looking her best was a priority even in these final years. When it came to work my mother mastered the art of selling. She never took no for answer and she usually persevered. Another thing she had a high success rate at was getting what she wanted at home. Although my father's typical response at home was NO to her requests, he was completely outmatched by my mothers negotiating skills and techniques. The word NO really did not exist in my mom's vocabulary. Although my mom usually got her way, in return she was an incredible wife to my dad. In a nut shell she has been my father's road map for the past 47 years. Whether it was what to eat, what clothes to wear, were to travel or general emotional support, my mom was a great guide for not only my dad but for the entire family.
And children.....my mom loved children. She cherished every last second of time that she spent with our two children Chase and Catalina and I am so thankful that should could have the time and experience with them. My Mom leaves us with the remembrance everyday of authoring our daughters nick name "Cha Cha".
Before Mom was sick she exemplified strong will, emotional strength and courage. After she was diagnosed with Parkinson's all the way until her last breath she showed strong will, emotional strength and courage. In fact just this past Saturday even in her weak state she went to go see a movie. She just would not give up. Countless doctor and hospital visits, broken bones, injections and procedures over the past 10 years and not one complaint. I mean not one complaint. How rare that is. My mother exemplified the expression of mind over matter.
Many people idolize celebrities. To me my mom is the biggest star out there. Thank you."
Judy is buried beneath the shade of a beautiful 100 year- old Burr Oak tree which will keep her forever safe.
