Judy passed away Friday, July 24, 2015 at Chapel Grove Inn, Heath. She was born in Maumee, Ohio in 1934 to the late Clark H. and Elma P. Allman.

Judy graduated from Bowling Green State University with a B.A. in Education. Prior to having her family, she was a kindergarten teacher in Maumee. After raising her family, she was a receptionist for Licking Memorial Family Practice -East with 31 years of service before retiring in 2014. Judy was a member of TWIG #15 and Centenary United Methodist Church where she was active in the Morning Glory Circle.

A kind-hearted, outgoing person, Judy was a vibrant soul who loved being around people. She had a soft spot for animals especially strays who often ended up as family members. The Fourth of July celebration in Granville was her favorite time of year as she delighted in watching the parade and fireworks. Judy enjoyed traveling especially family trips to the beach. She also enjoyed dominos, and was an avid bridge player. Her sense of humor allowed her to not take life too seriously and often laughed hardest at herself.

Surviving are her children, John and Moly Englehardt, Betsy Englehardt, and Lori, Klinkner; grandchildren, Jack, Anne, Adam, and Andrew; and sister, Virginia Gottfried.

Memorial contributions may be made to Granville Township Fire Department, P.O. Box 202, Granville, OH 43023.
