Judy was a kind, thoughtful, loving, and strong Christian woman, who relied heavily on her faith during her battle with cancer. She often called her cancer a “great inconvenience” as it kept her from doing many things that she loved: teaching ESL; traveling home to Hawaii; and attending church and small groups in person.
As a teacher, mother and friend, Judy brought joy and encouragement to many people. She was a great and vibrant storyteller and was also a person who genuinely loved to listen. Judy sought the inner hearts of those she knew and was a wonderful encourager, and she was always able to find the perfect bible verse or hymn to lift them up. In return, she was fiercely blessed and loved by those she had known and she received an outpouring of love and support until her passing.
Her husband, children, grandchildren, and friends will miss her warm smile and loving guidance. They take solace in knowing she is with her Heavenly Father.
Family and friends are invited to a Celebration of Life at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Plano on Friday, April 12th at 10:30a.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her honor to Mission to the World www.mtw.org
