Judith was a person I really liked, always friendly when I would see her, which was not that often. Victoria & my son, Todd were in kindergarten at Eugene school together. All her family have my deepest sympathy. Kathy Schulte
Judith will remain in our hearts and prayers..
Judith was a beautiful, spiritual, joy-filled person I was privileged to know. Her smiling face will be missed at Runge. May she rest in peace.
Our hearts are saddened by your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your ohana!
As a young girl in grade school, I walked from Immaculate Conception School to my parents’ place of business on High St. Often after school, I would visit Woolworth’s, where Judith worked while in high school. Always smiling and so kind to me, Judith became a special friend. I loved our visits and the coke at the soda fountain.

Judy was a kind and always friendly person. Don spoke of the fun they had when he and his parents visited with the Cassmeyers when he was a child. My sympathies to all.
I am thankful for time shared with Judith in a prayer group several years ago. I will always treasure her smile, kindness, wisdom and how she lived her faith. She was a blessing to many and will be missed. I know she will Rest In Peace and pray for the comfort of her family.
