business from her mother-in-law called 'Fashion Cleaners,' and she proudly served the Rogers community. One of Judy's favorite pastimes was going to the casino in Oklahoma, where she would oftentimes win big and enjoy time with her family and friends. She was also a lifelong Razorback fan and loved to watch their football games. She was well-known throughout her community, and she will be missed by those who knew her.
