I can still hear Bill answering his phone, "Judy, Judy, Judy..." whenever she would call him while he was working so hard at the computer playing Solitaire! Judy would stop by Hawkeye Fire & made sure to always search me out to stop & say "Hi" and let me know she was on her way to do something that kept her busy. And then as quickly as she stopped by, she was heading out the door stating "Oh Fiddlesticks, I need to get going." Oh Judy, you were such a fun treat! Thinking of you, Bill and JoAnn, also.

Grateful to have known and over the years interacted with amazing Judy. Her bright spirit and delightful conversations always entertained me. She had a great zest for life and all the possibilities and never shy about sharing them. Know she was proud of her family and she will be missed though guessing her sage advice and comments will be repeated often.
With sincere sympathy

I had the distinct pleasure and honor of interviewing Judy for a story in the DM Register in the early '90s. She was a remarkable swimmer and a delightful person. We were able to reminisce about Cedar Rapidians we knew in common. The world has lost a great lady.

To the Chadima family:
Please accept my condolences on your loss. It is never easy losing someone you love. Hold on to those memories, continue to hear her voice and don’t ever stop talking to her. She is with you always. I hope that comfort and peace come to you. I know that she will truly be missed. Prayers for your hearts to heal. I had the pleasure of swimming with Judy and against Judy. She was super dedicated to this sport and set the bar high for others to reach. She was and is the ICON for swimming.
You are in my prayers and thoughts.
May God bless all of you.

I have so many fond memories of this family as I babysat from 7th grade thru college. I walked from Franklin to their house on 30th street NE. We became great friends. I was required to save Hawkeye Football Saturdays. I love them all and am so sorry to learn of Judy's passing. She was a great mom. Blessings and peace to all of you.
