We send our love to Dennis & all the family. We are so sorry for your loss. Cousin Judy was a special lady & added so much to people’s lives. We remember her so well especially at the Mauk family reunions & also in OK at her parents’ home. Such a beautiful tribute of your family in photos which showed that she lived a very full life.
Judy, I’ll always remember your smile & the little, cute giggle you always gave. I’ll remember you as my sweet cousin. The video has such beautiful pictures of your family & friends.You lead a very full life. I will miss you very much. Praying for your new family.
Correction to the above post. I meant to say, Praying for your family.
Judy was a wonderful wife, mother, sister , grandmother and Aunt. She is in Heaven with her parents, sister and brothers. I am sending love and prayers to Dennis, Jennifer and Jeremy and their families. Rest in God’s hands Judy.
I will always remember Aunt Judy’s kind spirit and her gentle, warm smile. I treasure all the memories of Thanksgivings when my Dad and I would come to visit and the way Aunt Judy so warmly welcomed us into her home and took so much care in preparing Thanksgiving dinner—even when she had to work during the holiday weekend. My Dad would often talk about his big sister with such love. And I will never forget the gentleness with which she helped take care of my Dad when he was sick and the strength and comfort she gave me when he passed away. I take comfort in knowing she is with God, my Dad, Uncle Johnny, Aunt Pat and her parents now.
Uncle Denny, Jenny and Jeremy—I’m thinking of you and your families, and praying that you find peace and comfort in your memories and strength with each other at this difficult time. She loved all of you so much and you all brought so much light and joy to her life. Sending so much love your way.
Peace be with you and your family, Dennis.
Dennis – I am so sorry for your loss of Judy. She was the sweetest lady and your love and dedication to her was evident through your actions when I saw you together.
Praying for you and your family during this time
Jeremy – Condolences to you and your family. Though I did not know your mom or the rest of the family, I know she raised a kind, caring, loving son, and I am sure the family was lucky to have her in their lives.
Dear Denny and family,
Judy and I were very close as student nurses, eventual roommates and lifelong friends. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding. Although life didn’t let us see each other often, it was like no time had passed between meetings. She remained the kind, genuine, fun-loving, happy soul I knew in our teens.
The video is a beautiful depiction of her love of family and their love of her. She has always been special to me. I pray for comfort for you and your family. Heaven just got brighter with her presence.

Judy and I were best buddies ever since we worked together at Research Belton Hospital for over 20 years. Bob and I had so much fun doing things with Judy and Denny — 50th birthday parties together, fun trips, and being awarded a trip to Florida to a nursing conference. It was a miracle that I got to see Judy just a few weeks before her passing. She was her sweet, quiet, and pretty self. I will always remember that she looked at Bob and she said “You look good Bob!!” I did not get the same compliment!!! (Just kidding) So many wonderful memories and pictures in my scrapbook!! Love you Judy K!!
I am sending my prayers for Judy’s family and friends over this heartbreaking loss. I had the privilege of working with Judy at Research Belton Hospital. She was a superb and compassionate nurse. I remember when Judy and Janice both retired. Our unit was never the same because of the loss of their leadership.
It wasn’t that long ago when Judy called me. She shared some of her health issues, but she mostly talked about her daughter and her career path. I didn’t have to meet her husband and children to know how much they meant to her. She beamed brightly when she spoke of you.
Rest in heaven, sweetest Judy!
I also worked with Judy K at Research Belton . There were three Judy’s on our unit too!
Judy K & Janice (JB) both were wonderful leaders and mentors on our unit. I remember patient’s complimenting Judy and her response was always we love to treat patients like they are our own family. That exemplifies how she was. Dennis you and your kids and grandkids and greats are in my prayers. My condolences to you JB too I know you both were so close.
Our hearts and prayers go out to all the family. Cousin Judy was an exceptional person, so kind, caring and always had a big smile for all. What a full life well lived!
Love to all,
Jerry & Leslie
