Judy was a graduate of Boston Clerical School. She was a labor relations employee of the United States Postal Service for 34 years. Judy loved her time spent at Bayview Beach, Dennis where you would find her reading her favorite book or swimming with her grandkids. Her winters were spent in Bonita Springs where she and Papa spent their days golfing and sitting by the pool. Judy was well known for not being a fan of cooking and was always open to all invitations for eating out at any and all restaurants. She was also a gifted and avid painter. Nothing was more important to Judy than family and her immense love for her grandkids.
