Rex and Family, You already know what a special person Judy was in my life. As a neighbor she kept me laughing and was always there for a visit or talk when ever you needed her. She was our Real Estate agent later in life and made that process a breeze. She was the best!! She was a wonderful friend. Prayers and Love to you all!

To all family members: Judy and I have been friends for a number of years. While she worked @ C21 in Steubenville, I worked at C21 in Weirton and we referred clients back and forth. After we both retired from the real estate business, we kept in touch via email. I am living in FL now and will not be able to visit to show my respects but I am sure she is enjoying the splendors of Heaven and I hope to see her there when it's my turn to go. May God bless all of you. John Echelle, Navarre, FL

To Judy's Family, Although we just moved 2 doors down from Judy a little over a year ago, she touched our hearts in so many ways. She left us fresh baked bread at our door before we even moved in. We just spoke with her after the Ruritans chicken barbecue and she was so happy and seemed to be in such great spirits, even after all the tiring work she still had the energy to walk Buddy. I just remember thinking to myself, she looked so great and young at heart in her cute yellow top and capris jeans. She would stop to talk on her daily walks with Buddy. Buddy brought her so much joy and companionship. We hope it helps to share the moments we had with her. We really enjoyed her company. We will miss her. We are so sorry for your loss.
