She graduated from Shawano High School in 1963 and went on to earn her Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology from Ambassador College in Pasadena, California in 1967. After several moves, Judy settled in Allen, Texas in 1979, where she reared her family and began working for the City of Allen as the administrative secretary to the City Manager. She was promoted to City Secretary and continued in that role until she retired in 2002 after 21 years of service. Judy received the North Texas Municipal Clerk Association’s “Municipal Clerk of the Year” award, the association’s highest honor. Judy was an extraordinary wife, mother, grandma and a person who blessed everyone with her love, kindness, generosity, helpfulness, positivity and beautiful smile.
