She received recognition from the Kantering Kids 4-H Club as their “Most Loyal Fan”. An embroidered chair was presented to her by the club.

Judy loved an outing and was always ready for any adventure. Up until a few weeks ago, she was still the first one on the activities bus at Millers to go to Pizza Hut, Wal-Mart or wherever the outing of the day would be. Judy never knew a stranger and was always generous with her smiles, welcomes and lending a listening ear. She was always truly interested in others.

Judith is survived by three siblings; Beverly Hoover of Van Buren, Indiana, Joan Cole of Holly Hills, Florida and Keith Hoover of Tipton, as well as several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by 5 siblings; Phil, Billy, Don, and Norma Hoover and Marjorie Day.
