Judy had a LOVE of travel. Any chance she had she and Neil were off on some adventure. Whether close to home or oceans away, they always had a grand time. Some of the highlights were Hong Kong, Israel, New Zealand, Australia and many of the States.

Music was at the center of Judy’s heart. She loved playing the piano, singing, and listening to others do the same. She played keys at the First Christian Church for 40 years and then continued to improvise in the comforts of her own home.

Neil and Judy loved helping those in need. They sponsored the relocation of two Asian families. Helping these two families to transition to life in the United States was one of Judy’s greatest sources of joy.
