Judie is survived by her only son, Edward Hoyenski of Denton, and was fortunate in having many wonderful friends and “chosen” family, who will miss her sorely. Judie graduated from Bethel High School in 1962. In 1972, as a single, working mother, she moved from Stamford, Connecticut to Plano to work for Levi’s Strauss.
