She even helped build their home on Arlington in the mid 70’s where she would care for her family. Always known to be an ultimate hostess, Judy was also the mom acting as the chauffeur for Marianne and her friends taking them to many events no matter how far the distance.

Judy loved to travel. She was on the first PanAm flight to Europe out of Indianapolis in the early 1960’s. She also loved music. She was obsessed with Willie Nelson. A dog lover, she had many dogs through the years but her most memorable was her baby Eli. She was very dedicated to her family and was very close to her nieces and nephews. She will be remembered for making everyone feel welcome and for her contagious smile.
