grandchildren, sister, Dorothy Daubert and brother Edward Mortimer.

Judy will be best remembered for loving her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren unconditionally. She would most likely be found with a fruity drink or pumpkin beer in her hand, listening to country music, with her hair and nails done, and never without a sarcastic comment.

A memorial service will be held on Tuesday at 11:00 A.M. at Grabowski Funeral Home, Schuylkill Haven. Family and friends are welcome from 10:00 A.M. until the time of services.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations in Judith's name be made to Trinity Lutheran Church, 300 W. Arch Street, Pottsville, PA 17901.
