Judy enjoyed helping the community in many ways. She volunteered for the Cottonwood ambulance, worked in the Cottonwood floral shop and wrote for the Cottonwood Chronicle. She liked to start her day with writing hand-written letters to family and friends who looked forward to receiving them regularly.

Judy was the eldest of four children and is also survived by two brothers, Jack Flinn of Bonners Ferry; Richard Flinn of Hayden; and a sister, Peggy Myers of Bonners Ferry. She was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Helen Flinn and son-in-law, Leon Stuck.
