"This was a shocker to me as I moved out of state and was just told that she had passed on. Even though I only had seen her a few times, she was a very friendly person with a great personality. I remember her working at Sheridan 66 and how she would just brighten my day when I would walk in the store. She will be greatly missed by all who enjoyed her company."
In loving memory of
Judy A. Sederburg
