Judy is also survived by one of her earliest childhood friends, Shelley Schedewitz Mclean from Harrison Arkansas.
Judy was a native of Alexandria, and passed away following an almost 4 year battle with Early Onset Dementia/Alzheimer's. Judy was a loyal friend. Everywhere she went, she made friends and had a wonderful knack for keeping up with them, even before social networking.

Judy was born in Houston, Texas, but was raised in and loved Alexandria and most of her adult life worked for The Alexandria Town Talk as a Photographer and at KALB TV in marketing and sales. She loved her co-workers and especially loved working with her clients. She participated in too many to count local and civic activities. She was very athletic, and exercising and healthy living was very much part of her life.

Judy's family, and most particularly, her sister, Karen Kay Kelley Snow, her primary caretaker would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Dr. Robert Smith, her Primary Care Physician here in Alexandria, his staff Hannah, Lacy, ... he and his staff became so much more that just a "doctor -patient " care. Dr Smith goes the extra mile to get to the root of a problem and we were amazed at his direction. He arranged for Judy to meet with a team of Neurological doctors at Baylor University Research and Treatment Center, headed by Dr. Adrianna Strutt. After minimal testing they were able to concur that Judy's illness was due in-fact to Early On-Set dementia/Alzheimer's. To say we were in shock would be such an understatement. Also our family would like to thank the director and staff from Marigold Place, Maggie Molan, Administrator, and her entire staff, she had during this last year. Judy grew to love them all!
