After graduating from Fayetteville High School, Judy married her high school sweetheart, Ben Greene, assuming the role of a Navy wife. Soon after, they welcomed their only child, Lynn while stationed in Norfolk, VA. Ben’s final duty station with the Navy took the family to the US Naval Station at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. After returning home Judy, alongside her husband, worked in Civil Engineering at Pope Air Force Base until she retired in 1997.
Judy was a great piano player, enjoyed crafts, traveling and slot gaming. She enjoyed opening her home to family, friends and neighbors as she entertained them with her talents at the piano as well as with her good humor. She was the person everyone wanted to be with. You never spent time with her when you didn’t hear her laugh. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her for her beauty, talents and fun-loving nature.
