Judy and Lee owned and operated the Cardinal Café in Eleva for 10 years. After selling the café in 1998, she worked for Lutheran Social Services until her retirement in 2005.

Judy had many interests, including watching game shows, doing crossword puzzles, and making trips up north to the family cabin. She loved spending time with her grandchildren, and cherished the family trips to Alabama. Every other Thursday, she looked forward to family lunches, where she enjoyed the company of her loved ones.
