After retiring and moving to a small historic farm in Gibsonville Judy was able to care for three miniature rescue horses, learn beekeeping, raise miniature cattle, sheep, turkeys and spend more time quilting, sewing, crafting and baking. She was a member of the Alamance Antique Auto club and enjoyed the many friendships she made within the club. She found great joy spending time with her grandchildren and watching them in their sports and activities.
Judy spent time with the antique car club fundraising for the Hospice and Palliative Care Center of Alamance Caswell. If you'd like to do something in her honor a donation to this organization would have made her happy.
A memorial service celebrating her life will be held in the springtime.
