Judy was a woman whose warmth, energy, and love for life touched everyone around her. She passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, strength, and deep devotion to her family.

Judy had a deep love for the outdoors-whether it was camping under the stars, taking long scenic car rides, or spending weekends at the stock car races in Quincy, IL, she was always up for an adventure. Family was at the center of her world. She especially cherished time spent at backyard BBQs, where her generosity and sense of humor always lit up the gathering.

A woman of many talents, Judy found joy in life’s quiet moments too. She had a sharp mind for Sudoku puzzles and a gifted hand for sewing-most memorably, she sewed her daughters' wedding dresses, a true labor of love that reflected her creativity and care.

Judy’s spirit lives on in the memories of all who loved her, and in the family traditions she helped shape with grace and heart.

Pallbearers: Adam Dunn, Jeff Foubester, John Foubester, Adam Dunn Jr., Jackson Curless, Greg Hooley, Aiden Gilker and Steven Ritter
