Judy has fun bowling in the Henderson County Ladies League on Thursday nights, at Country Fun, and attending tournaments.
She enjoys most of all spending time with her grandchildren, cooking, fishing, and hunting deer with her best friend.
She has special memories of family vacations to Kentucky Lake with her husband and their friends, the Bakers.
On one occasion the guys challenged the girls to a fishing tournament, thinking they would out fish the gals. However, Judy won the tournament with a catch of a #10 catfish and a $10 bill. She has never been challenged since.
