Throughout her ordeal, Judy made many friends at St. Charles Cancer Center and at Hospice of Redmond. The family would like to thank Dr. Boone and all the nurses at the Cancer Center, and the nurses and providers at the hospice center for the love and exceptional care she was given. She endured two bone marrow transplants at O.H.S.U. during this time.

Other survivors include her grandchildren, Cameron and Jacob; nieces, Deann Cain and Terry Kremer, and nephew, Bob Cain. She was preceded in death by her parents.

Everyone who ever knew Judy will always remember her wonderful, warm smile that never left her face. She exuded love and happiness to everyone she ever met.
