Judi touched so many people in her lifetime. Whether it was sharing her love for knowledge, giving advice, or just being there to listen. She was very loved. Judi had a passion for crocheting. At just 5 years old she had a crochet hook in her hand. She blessed us and so many others with her beautiful work that she put her time and heart into. Judi also had a love for cooking. Collecting cookbooks from all areas of the world. She even earned the name Grandma Ramsey from one of her grandchildren. Judi was also known as Mimi, Grandma Bama, and Tootsie tulip to name a few. She had a love for antiques and red glass along with other collections. Judi always said that we need at least eight hugs a day, and never loose your inner child that is what keeps us alive. She always had the best advice. Judi will be forever missed, but will always and forever live through our memories and hearts.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
