She truly enjoyed shopping, and especially shopping in foreign countries. She loved walking through parks with her little Yorkie, Ayashe Akacheta. Judy helped run the family businesses. She cared for her mother for many years during her mother’s battle with Alzheimer’s. Judy had a very contagious laugh, and never lost her great sense of humor.
