Judy always cared for her family and put everyone first. She treasured her life with her daughter Christina. They were partners and always together. Everyone loved and adored her. She loved hearing oldies music and the radio playing first thing in the morning. She always made you feel special no matter the date, time, or who you were. She made it a point to call you on your birthday, write you a letter, or send a gift to let you know she loved you. She was everyone’s aunt or Nina. She was truly one of a kind. She was a devote Catholic at St. Francis Newman Center. She worked hard to obtain her college degree from WNMU.
Her passion for teaching kindergarten students lasted for over 20 years at Sixth Street and Harrison Schmitt Elementary. She cherished the students and her impact was everlasting. Anywhere she would go; the students would stop her and ask, “do you remember me Mrs. Gonzales”. She always remembered every student.
