Judy, as she was known to her family and friends, was born in Opelousas and was a longtime resident of Opelousas before moving to Texas in 1999. She was a career woman long before it was fashionable, having worked for the U.S. Navy during WWII and later for Greyhound Bus Lines and Abdallas Furniture Store. She retired in 1982 from Dixie Glass Company after 20 years of loyal service. Judy was an 50 year member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary Post 2483 and active at the local, district, and state level and a member of the Opelousas Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution DAR. She enjoyed reading, playing cards, computer games, the occasional slot machine, and her family.

All who knew Judy will miss her warmth, openness, and delightful sense of humor. She was a friend to virtually everyone she met
