Dear Erica and Pat: Please accept my very sincere condolence on the recent loss of your dear mother. She was a very sweet lady and I think of her so often. Our friendship blossomed because of her marriage to your day, who I knew from school days at Wilson High School, as well as at church. I can remember well his gift of playing the piano. May you have comfort knowing she is now in the hands of our Heavenly Father and has joined your dad. I am blessed having known her. With Christian Love and Friendship, Marsha Sarfert L-214, The Heritage
I'm so glad that Judy was able to stay in one location after all the moves she had to make, I'll always remember our hours long conversations at The Heritage, What a shame that CoVid spoiled opportunities for family and friends to spend more time with her but I'm thankful that Erica was able to be with her at the end. May you find peace as time goes on.

I love you Aunt Judy, you are a beautiful soul. Thank you for being an shining example of light in my life. My family all loved you and held you close even though we lived a state away. Rest In Peace, Dear Aunt, you will never be forgotten.
Stella, Judy played the piano, but not publicly, that I know of.
So sorry for the loss of your family member.
Family of Judy Barclay Wollenhaupt: So sorry to hear of one of my classmates passing. Judy was a shy smart student. Very sweet person. Sending condolences and God's comfort and peace to her family on behalf of the Class of 1956. Glad to read her obituary and her successful life. I noticed she hosted jazz sessions with Will and fellow musicians. Did Judy play an instrument? I don't think I knew that.
Erika and Pat Our hearts go out to you on the loss of Mom. We had the opportunity to meet Mom at Erika’s backyard birthday. I remember she was so easy to spot as her as her and Erika share so many characteristics. Without knowing her well we know Judy was one tough lady who brought so much joy and love to you both. We love you both. Sarah & Christina, Liam & Emma
