Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
With deepest sympathy to Ed and family. Our memories of Judy will always be happy ones. She was a very dedicated and bright lady. With heavy hearts, Kathy and Corky Knock
Dear Ed, I was out of town so we missed the Saturday service.Helen saw the notice in the paper & called it to my attention. We immediately began to talk about some of the great times we had together on those out of town Sunflower Study Club trips. She was a wonderful person & we are sorry for your loss. Dave & Helen Knudtson
Thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers.
My condolences to Ed and the entire family. You are in my prayers. I admired Judy so much and cherished her friendship. She brought cheer to every meeting with her good humor and upbeat attitude. I never once heard her complain; instead she met challenges with determination and optimism. She modeled the Christian spirit so well, and even more so in her illness. I met Judy because she wanted to learn parliamentary procedure and a friendship developed from that meeting. I later noticed that Judy always wanted to learn more about everything she took on. Whatever the task, she wanted to do it well. I will miss her so much.
Dr Hall, Kathy, Randy, Brian and families, I extend my sympathy to ALL of you!! Her sense of humor will be a huge void in your lives. I am so sorry the grandchildren won’t have her in their lives longer!!! Lavonna and Ken Huston
Dear Dr. Hall Dr. Hall, as one of your former co-workers I wish to send you and your family my depest condolences on the lose of your lovely and special wife, Judy. You, your family and Judy will be in our prayers.
I was so sorry to hear about Judy’s death. I will remember my Aunt Judy with joy. When I think of her, I picture her with a smile to share and a twinkle of happiness in her eyes. She was an amazing woman and she will be greatly missed.
Judy, our dearest memory of you is the care and support that you showed to us all when Alyce passed. Thank for always being there with a smile and a hug. Your happy husband and sucessful children are a tribute to your life.
Hello Dr Hall and family, I read with sadness about the loss of Judith. My first husband Rex also died of lung cancer, a horrible disease. You and your family will be in my prayers these next few days. Sincerely, Norma Sutton Peak (receptionist in the dental dept. many years ago!!)
So sorry for your loss,Judy was a wonderful person who will be missed by everyone who knew her.
Judy will be remembered for her loving ways, her radiant smile and her courage. As a member of our Santa Marta family I miss her but I am so grateful God called her home at a time when God knew best. God bless her family and help them to know she will always be with them.
Dear Ed and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Judy was so many things to so many people. Her dedication to the oral health of children was admired by all. We are better for having her in our lives. Love,
My husband and I remember Judy as a young mother in Wichita. She was bright, caring, and fun-loving. We were delighted to see her and her daughter Kathleen in early December on the Music Theatre of Wichita trip to New York, and we are surely saddened by her death. We send our prayers to the family and close friends. Judy and Hew Goodpasture
To the family of Judy Hall, It is with great sorrow that I have heard that Judy passed. As you know, Judy was not only a very gracious person but a great inspiration to many. Judy always met everyone with her super smile and kind words of encouragement along with a short update on her family that she loved so dearly. Judy has a special place in hearts of many especially with our family. Judy and Ed always supported the numerous activities through the dental society and those outside of that community that my mother and father were involved in as well. Many times we would gather at an event and there would be Judy and Ed dressed to the 9’s and ready to join us in celebration. Judy will be missed in the lives of many but be assured she is in a better place continuing to share her love of family and friends. Again, with heavy hearts, we send this not of tribute to Judy and the support of here family. Sincerely, David, Kelli, Myles, Mitchell and Mac Copeland
