readers which led to the development of the instant gas card system and the

instant teller system.

Judy was devoted to her dog, Jessie, and her many horses. She made repeated

trips to Europe to refine her riding and enjoyed the sport of dressage. She

was unusually talented with needlework skills and sewing which she

attributed to her mathematical ability.

only niece, Brittany Jo DePew of San Jose, California.
