We are sorry we never knew Judith in the Texarkana community. I understand she was a long-standing member of Trinity Presbyterian Church. She was very loved well spoken of by the members. Our prayers are with her family.

Judy was the epitome of elegance, grace and kindness. She was my 7 years older cousin and I spent many summers with her and her sister Sue who was my age. Judy was always kind and never annoyed with us even though she shared a bedroom with us. She taught me the "right " way to wash my face and we watched her get ready for her dates with George. She was a great influence in my life and, no doubt, in the lives of many others. Rest in peace.

I’m so sorry, she was such a lovely person.I remember many visits to my cousin Susan( then known as Sue) and how glamorous Judy always seemed. There was one time we went to the beach and Tim took pictures of us on the lifeguard stands. I can still see her black hair and red lipstick.
