Facilitator for the "Extreme Grandmothering Class"Judy and her husband, Doug, of 46 years have three daughters and four grandsons. Throughout their lives they have had a passion for encouraging and supporting strong marriages. From 1999-2009 they regularly hosted numerous dinners for young married couples to offer encouragement and support. They opened their home to host a wonderful meal and had intentional discussions about selected topics for the group to share and discuss. Currently Doug and Judy are on the board of the Association of Marriage and Family Ministries (AMFM) organization out of Scottsdale, AZ and enjoy serving the community in various ways as well as being actively involved in their children and grandchildren’s lives.
Doug and Judy’s grandsons are 10, 7, 4, and 2 years old. Judy can be characterized as a Grandmother who enjoys doing a variety of activities and traveling with her grandkids. When each of her grandsons was fairly little, she took them to the Gymboree Play Program where they would sing and dance together. On weekends, you can spot her in the bleachers cheering on her grandsons while they play baseball and soccer. She and Doug have taken the older ones on adventures to Chicago, New York and San Francisco as well as gone snowmobiling and skiing with them. On warm afternoons she is often outside taking her grandsons on exploration walks and bug hunts. She is not a big fan of trips to Disney World but does enjoy playing some tennis.
Judy is friends with a number of Heartland families and one of her daughters is actually attending Mothers Together this year.
