She married Alton Ray Morris on January 20, 1959, they were married 63 years.

Judy was a loving and strong wife, mother, and Granny. She loved her family and especially her grandchildren.

She has been described as “determined” and “strong willed”. Her boss at Varo challenged her to stop smoking, if successful, he would give her $100. Judy won the challenge, quit smoking and never smoked again. If she determined to do something, she did it.

Judy was amazingly talented at arts and crafts. Painting was a passion and she thoroughly enjoyed macrame and foiling. Later in life she hand made doll clothes after watching YouTube videos!

She was a shopaholic, from early to late, browsing to her heart’s delight, but seldom buying.
