Judy's legacy lives on in her surviving children, Scott (Martha) Washburn, Steven (Lisa) Kindermann, Douglas (Sarah) Kindermann, and Debra (John IV) Osborne; daughter-in-law, Laura Washburn; sister, Linda (Jim) Thompson; nieces, Traci and Teri; fifteen grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren and one on the way.
