Judy Hodson Orebaugh, 77, of Hillsboro, passed away Monday morning, Jan. 16, 2017 at the Bethesda North Hospital in Montgomery.
She was born April 15, 1939 in Hillsboro, the daughter of the late Robert E. Hodson and Margaret M. (Hodson) Harper.
She was a retired bookkeeper and sometimes worked two or three jobs simultaneously to support her family. Judy was an extremely devoted member of the Hillsboro Church of the Nazarene. She had served as church secretary for many, many years.
All who knew her know of her caring and generosity to others. She was a true animal lover. Any dog or cat lucky enough to come to her was always fed and loved. She had a listening ear and open heart to everyone. So much was solved with Judy over glasses of her sweet tea.

She also leaves her extended church family; everyone was so important to her.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her paternal grandmother, Virginia Hodson.
Judy’s funeral service will take place at noon on Saturday, Jan. 21, 2017 at the Hillsboro Church of the Nazarene. Rev. Tom Zile will officiate.
