I remember sailing in the Florida Keys with Judy and her family, and mine. 1970s. Swimming, snorkeling, fishing, sailing fast, enjoying the beautiful ocean.-Cindy Dougherty Kearney
My fondest memories of Judie are being on a sailboat in the Florida Keys with her and her family, and mine. 1970s. Snorkeling, fishing, swimming, sailing fast, loving the ocean……-Cindy Dougherty Kearney
I first met Judy when my friend Ron started dating her in the early 1960s in Riviera Beach, Florida. I was on vacation from Florida State University and staying with Ron. Later on I played tennis with Judy at Lake Mohawk. I always found she embraced everything with great enthusiasm. Ron and Judy were a wonderful couple and she will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate to have known her. Condolences from Jim Baker
Though I am no longer part of the family, I’ve never stopped feeling grateful for the friendship and kindness I received from Aunt Judie. She and Ron were always two of my favorites- gracious, fun and quick-witted.
She possessed a thoughtful nature. When Adam was still in diapers, Judie mailed coupons for his diapers to me. And I still use her recipe for Holiday Cheese Ball during my family’s get togethers.
She will be missed but fondly remembered.

She was a thoughtful person. When Adam was still in diapers, she would mail diaper coupons to me. Holidays with the Faust clan were so much fun, from competitive card games to hilarious stories from the old days. Judie shared her Holiday Cheese Ball recipe with me and I still use it.
She will be deeply missed but fondly remembered.

I have lasting, fond memories of Judy, who I first met when she was dating Ron in the early 1960s. I vividly recall the time I visited her and Ron at Lake Mohawk where she and I played tennis. Judy was enthusiastic and very intense and I tried to get her to calm down, breathe, and relax. I do not believe I succeeded, but she sure enjoyed pounding that tennis ball.
Judie and Ron were lifelong friends of my parents, Delphine and Fred Dougherty. Our families shared some amazing sailing trips in the Florida Keys. I remember visits to the house in Sparta, a beautiful, comfortable home.
To Ron, Paula, and Sheryl, I’m so sorry for your loss. Judie was a wise woman. She surely blessed your lives.

I have such wonderful memories not just with Judie and Ron, but with your whole family. She was always so full of energy and had a way of making everyone around her laugh—her joy was absolutely contagious. My own grandparents were a bit older, so I never really got to have that kind of relationship with mine, and I feel so lucky to have experienced even a glimpse of that with her.
I remember one time when Leah, Kaylee, and I forced her to play one of those silly games we loved as kids—the one where you blindfold each other and have to guess the food you’re given. I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants. I’m pretty sure there is a video of it somewhere. We always had so much fun.
I want to thank you all for always being like a second family to me. I’m so grateful for those memories. Sending you all so much love.
❤️, Sky
