Judy volunteered her time & inspiration as a Vacation Bible School teacher, foster parent, warehouse organizer at the Compassion Center, and a volunteer for the NWMC Auxiliary. Judy spent countless hours enjoying canoeing, gardening, painting, singing in the church choir, water skiing, snow skiing, camping with friends and family, and playing Pokeno. She was a member of Beta Sigma Phi sorority.

She is survived by her loving husband, Ralph “Gresh” Gresham; one daughter, Shauna Gresham; two sons, Brandon Shane Gresham and Brandon Smith, both of St. John USVI; 2 granddaughters, Brooklyn Tess Davis Farmer of Logan, and Ashley Davis Goodyear of Bentonville; and five great-grandchildren.
