Judith Marie Drish (Fry) was born in Chicago on October 30
th
, 1947. Judy loved her family and was most proud of her three girls – Julie, Jennifer, and Jill. When she wasn’t shopping (at Walmart) or eating out, Judy enjoyed listening to music, sewing, nurturing her indoor plants, or working on a floral design craft. Judy was a natural born caregiver; while raising her three daughters, she worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse and furthered her education by becoming a Registered Nurse and graduating with a Bachelor of Science from the College of Saint Francis. Her nursing career spanned over 35-years where she gained experience as a trauma nurse specialist, ER nurse, a psychiatric unit nurse, with the majority of her career specializing as a hospice nurse. Judy was a bright light and touched the lives of many, her silly sense of humor, beautiful green eyes and smile will be missed, but her family will carry the beauty of Judy forever in their hearts and soul.
