Judy was such an encourager during my membership process for the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, and huge part of the success and growth of the chapter. Prayers lifted for her family members.

My mom lives at Sage and I met Judy there. What a sweet and loving soul. I had no idea she was a sculptor and artist. Would have loved to have seen her work. Rest in peace, sweet and gentle lady.
