She enjoyed going to water aerobics at the YMCA in the morning, then Sul Ross Senior Center at noon, where she got back into ceramics, a passion she had earlier in life, arts and crafts, and socializing with all friends, especially birthday parties and bingo. Every Thursday night, you could always find Judy at the dance, she was passionate about dancing, especially polkas. She also, loved the outdoors and spending time at Lake Whitney, where she had been going since childhood, water skiing, swimming, and especially fishing; she always caught the most fish.
