Judy was an avid reader and loved to cook. She welcomed everyone into her home. She even had a rock band practicing in her den. Judy never met a stranger and she always made it a point to try to bring a smile to the face of anyone she met.

Judy was truly a lovely lady. I am honored to have known her. The Ross family is in my prayers.
Love, DeeDee
Mom was the sweetest, kindest, most selfless person I have ever known. She’d give you the shirt off of her back, and her last pork chop! Ha!! She was the best grandma to our kids. Spent countless hours with them. Took them to the pet store to see that old bird, Ben Franklin , Lakeside park, and always took them shopping and spent so much time with them. She sure could talk till the cows came home. And the. She’d talk more… She was so funny, and always had kind words to say. I sure do miss her.
