Throughout Judy’s life she has maintained a very close circle of friends. She was loyal and honest, even if you didn’t really want to hear the truth. Judy was a regular fixture at the Hennessy Market the entire time it was open as she was one of the first residents of the Sears Loft apartments. She came down every morning to have her coffee, pick up her paper and visit with the regulars and employees. The Market people were her second family. She was fond of saying that she was unAmerican as she did not and would not own a television. She much preferred her crossword puzzles and her ‘Judy Time’. Judy was preceded in death by her husband, Bob Evans, parents: John “Jack” and Rita McMillan- Biers. As well as her siblings: Mercedes Biers James, Diane Haft, Johnny (Linda)Biers, Cathy McDonald, her nephew “little” Johnny Biers, and her step-son Robert T “Robin” Evans II.
