Myers, FL; Her son, Steven Brown (Courtney) of Cape Coral, FL; her sisters, Suzanne Humble (Craig) and Cynthia Kerry of Cape Coral, FL; and her brother, William F. Zall (Carol) of Ashtabula, OH.

Judy was born on July 14, 1947 in Cleveland, OH to William and Sophie Zall (née Kostelic). She graduated from Madison Memorial High School in 1965. Judy married Dennis James Brown, in 1966. She attended Cosmetology school after high school and worked as a beautician until she moved to Florida where she later earned her CNA. Judy worked for Southland Corporation 7-11 for 27 years and managed stores all over Southwest Florida.
Judy loved to be in the kitchen cooking and baking or making jam with her grandchildren. You could never ask her for a recipe because she would just tell you, “all you need is a little bit of this or a little bit of that.” When visiting her house she wouldn’t let you leave without trying to feed you or send you home with a plate to go. Anyone who knew Judy knew that she loved her coffee and a goodie. She loved being with her family and spending time together. Some people say family first, but Judy LIVED family first.
The family will receive friends from 4 to 7pm Tuesday, December 8, 2020 at the Behm Family Funeral Home, 26 River Street, Madison, OH.

Judy has always been like a grandmother to me from the moment I met her. Our families connected 20 years ago, and we have been part of the family ever since. Judy watched my son when he was a newborn every day, when we had no one else to watch him. She created his love for coffee lol! Judy treated me like one of her very own, with her love, support, and even to get on me when I was irritating her(which I happened to do often lol). You left such a mark on this world JuJu and you will be missed so very much. Sleep peacefully now, I love you so much.
Judy was truly a special gal, graduated together n was fortunate to see her a few yrs ago when she came to Madison with her daughter. A group of us met for lunch…RIP Judy. Your friend, Joyce
