Each month Medicalodges Butler features a resident's story. This month meet Judy Leonard.
JUDY WAS BORN ON MARCH 21ST, 1933, IN PLEASONTON KS, WHERE SHE LIVED WITH 1 YOUNGER SIBLING. SHE WAS MARRIED IN 1956 AND HAD 2 CHILDRED. JUDY AND HER HUSBAND LIVED IN LACYGNE, KS. WHERE THEY OWNED THE LACYGNE JOURNAL AND SHE WORKED AS A GRAPHIC ARTIST. SHE WON THE KANSAS PRESS AWARD FOR HER GRAPHIC ART DESIGNS. IN HER LIFETIME JUDY ALSO WORKED AT BASS BUSTERS AND THORCO.
ONE OF HER FAVORITE HOBBIES IS TO COLLECT THINGS... JEWELRY, CURRENCIES FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES... COOL THINGS!
HER TALENT DIDN'T STOP AT GRAPHIC ARTS, SHE WAS ALSO A SINGER AND PLAYED AUTOHARP AND GUITAR IN A COUNTRY WESTERN BAND.
JUDY IS NOT A PICKY EATER. SHE LOVES SHADES OF BLUE/TURQUOISE AND HER MOST PRIZED POSSESSION IS HER SEWING MACHINE.
WHEN ASKED WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO HER SHE SAYS “BEING HAPPY” AND AS THE BEE GEE’S WOULD PUT IT, “STAYING ALIVE”!
“ONE DAY AT A TIME” AND “GO WITH THE FLOW”.. JUST A FEW WORDS OF ADVICE FROM JUDY!
THANK YOU JUDY FOR SHARING YOUR STORY WITH US! AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS OF WISDOM... WE SHALL GO WITH THE FLOW!
I love my Judy.
She great lady everyone loves her
Awesome idea!!
She had been a good friend of mine for a long time. She is an inspired lady with guts and brains and stamina! If there is a will there is a way with Judith Leonard. All things are possible with her!
God Bless Judy!! ❤️
Sweeeeeeet!
Love her!
How do we have fun at Medicalodges Nevada?!! We celebrate special days like National Burrito Day! Chef Jeff Langdon made sure the spice was just right and residents enjoyed the tasty treat!

One of the great things about working at Medicalodges is the opportunities for learning. Staff members at Jackson County participated in a hands on safe lifting program conducted this week. We are thankful for our vendor partners who are always available to join our safety training sessions.
