Beloved sister you were such a blessing to us all. Rest easy.
Judy was a wonderful, sweet, quiet person whom I was privileged to know in the past two years in our Faith and Cancer group at Westminster Presbyterian Church. We will miss her.

I am so sad to learn of Judy’s passing. She has been in my prayers During her fight. Her love and trust in Jesus touched me. May she rest in the peace of God
Dear cousin, always kind and thoughtful. You will always be in my heart.
I met Judy when she was a student at UNL and worked with me in the early years of developing the vision for the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery. Judy’s soft spoken manner and commitment to a diverse community made an impact on the future direction of gallery. My condolences to her family.
