After a two-year stint in Belem, Brazil, she spent the next years moving wherever Mack's career with the Bureau of Indian Affairs took them.

Ever smiling! I remember that spending time in Judy’s company could be the highlight of one’s day when we taught together at BCCHS. Upbeat, kind and funny! That is a winning combination. Rest in peace. V. Longo

The photo you selected brought a flood of memories...Judy looks happy to see me as she jumps right up with a welcome. She always saw good in people and searched for the bright side. We were lucky that you shared her with us. Peggy Lab retired Senior High

To "Mack" and the Cole Family: My connection is from working at the BIA in Billings during some of Mack's time there. Not ever having the privilege of getting to know Judith. I send thoughts and prayers for strength during this time of grief. Sherman Oland
