Ellen Anderson wrote a sympathy message

“Judy always had a friendly smile. She will be missed by many people. I will be praying for her husband, Jim, and the girls. I worked with Jim at Wagoner Printing and I knew both of the girls. I'm living too far to get back to attend the memorial services, but your family will be on my mind. God will give you the comfort you need as you grieve, and I know you have many happy family memories. Ellen & Layla Anderson (Sedwick)”
