12 Condolences
My condolences. I always enjoyed Judy.
My deepest condolences to all of you. I have many cherished memories of Judy from my childhood. Her brownies were the best on the 4th of July and so many more memories. Praying for all of you Jeannie, Brian, Christy and your dad….may God bring you all peace and comfort during this difficult time.
I became friends with Judy when I worked in Physical Therapy at Glen Haven. We enjoyed many good times together bowling and going out to eat. We would run into each other periodically through the years since then and we always enjoyed catching up with one another. She will be missed greatly. My condolences to the family.
Hobie and Family – prayers and thoughts.
Oh Hobie and family we are so sorry. We always enjoyed Judy. May she rest well. Hobie you take care.
Jennie, I am so sorry to learn of Wils’ passing. He was a joyful guy, and he will be missed by so many,
I am sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. She was the Nurse Supervisor when I worked for a short time at Glen Haven. Judy was a lovely, caring lady and she will be greatly missed
I have been a life long friend of the Rupe family. Hobie was like my second brother,Spent lots of good times with Hobie and Judy and all the Rupe family. Alwasy enjoyed our Memorial Day lunches. Judy was a good gal and I will miss her as will all who knew her.
We are both very sad to hear of Judy’s passing. She had a strength of character seldom found these days. Prayers to Hobie and Judy’s family during this difficult time. She will be sorely missed. God may have ready to welcome her home, but the world was not yet ready to lose her. Rest easy, pretty lady, until we meet again.
Hobie Brian,
We are so sorry for your loss.
I worked with Judy for 19 tears. She was a consummate professional office manager.. When she left GH they had to hire three people to do the work she had been doing. We remained friends for the next twenty years.
Perhaps the fact that she and Hobie raised three successful professionals is the truest reflection of what she was. God Bless her spirit and her family.
So sad to hear of Judy’s passing. She was one heck of a lady. Always a smile on her face. My heart and prayers go out to Hobie and family.
