She is survived by her devoted husband, Dr. Kenneth Lee, and her cherished children: Kevin Gambol, Janine Aquino, Nicole Beaudoin, Kristine Lee, Kyleen Lee, and Kerrie Inouye.

After relocating to Hawaii, she dedicated more than 50 years to serving her community as a compassionate and skilled nurse at Kaiser, Queen's, and Kapiolani hospitals, later joining her husband in private practice. She was deeply respected by colleagues and beloved by patients. Judy's greatest passion was her family. She poured her heart into raising her children and nurturing her grandchildren. She found joy in dancing to live music and filled her home with beauty through her lovingly tended orchids. Guided by a spirit of resilience and warmth, Judy lived by the Hawaiian motto Kulia i ka nu'u "Strive for the highest." Her legacy of kindness, dedication, and joy continues in all those she touched. She will be deeply missed and fondly remembered. A celebration of Judy's life will be held at Haiku Gardens on Thursday, August 7 from 10:00- 11:00am. Arrangements Provided By: Diamond Head Mortuary
