Judy loved spending time in the kitchen creating delicious meals for her family, friends and loved ones. She enjoyed going on walks, watching the Boston Red Socks games with Ray, reading books, coloring, doing needlepoint, crossword puzzles, Dove Dark Chocolate and the color purple. Judy also loved to play monopoly and cards with her grandchildren. She loved listening to country music and Lawrence Welk, and would sing along while doing her favorite activities.
