Judy loved to cook, and she published multiple cookbooks which Art illustrated. She also was a dedicated and recognized volunteer at All Saints Hospital in Racine. She spent thousands of hours knitting hats and booties and blankets for the newborn babies in the N.I.C.U.

She lived with Art in the house they built together in Elmwood Park in 1959 until she passed away. She really loved her neighborhood and her neighbors who loved her so much. She cherished her time socializing with her neighborhood family.
