She worked at Kalamazoo Sled Company for approximately 3 years and at that time decided to start her new full-time job as a mother and homemaker. Judy loved her job as a full-time mother and homemaker, and did an awesome job as a wife, mom, grandma and great-grandma. Judy enjoyed staying active with bowling, camping, boating, water skiing, family vacations, trips to Lake Michigan, the sun & beach, crafting, bargain shopping, taking lots of family photos, floating in Chris & Tim's pool, and most of all spending time with her grandkids, great-grandkids and her puppy dog, Jessi.
