Her seven grandchildren gave her much joy and always brought a smile to her face. Judy was a long time resident of Midland who worked for various oil related companies highlighted by an 18 year career at Exxon before retiring in 1999.

Jimmy, Leslie, Emerson and family, I only met your mom a couple of times but felt the gentle spirit and love that she had for your family. I am greatful that she is now free of pain and suffering and is home in heaven. I, also know the pain it leaves for your family that is left her to continue living without her. Trust in God to carry you through each day and continue to relish in her memory.
