She had great family instincts and was a loyal friend to many. 

Judy is survived by her husband of 60 years, Danny; daughters Susan, Jenny and Charlotte; her grandchildren Megan, Ellis, Reese, Cash and Cohen; brother Donald Peterson; sisters Carol Landon and Jean Wolney. 

She is predeceased by her parents Herbert and Elsie, grandson Jacob Harden, and sister Sharon Moch.
