Judy was a treasured soul that was deeply loved in every aspect of her life, as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

Judy was born to sing. She started singing in the Story Hypes UMC church choir at the age of 12 and she never stopped until the last 4 days of her life. She sang in musicals including a summer production of Madame Butterfly. Judy was a longtime member of USS and Vintage Voices and she briefly sang with an extracurricular choir associated with Weaver Chapel. Judy graduated from Springfield High in 1954. Shortly after graduating, she met the love of her life at the SHUMC Methodist Youth Fellowship Group, Don Maston, Jr. They were married for 50 years before Don preceded her in death on January 29, 2006. There were three children born from their union, Sheila K. Maston, Norville D. “Don” Maston III, and Janice A. (Maston) Billing and her husband, Robert. Outside of taking care of her home, she worked as a legal secretary and was a long-time secretary for the Springfield City School District, a position that she deeply loved.

She is also survived by a grandson whom she had a close relationship with, Bryant P. Billing and three additional grandsons of Columbus; three great-grandchildren of Columbus; sisters-in-law, Sue Maston of Rochester Hills, MI and Gloria Maston of Matthews, NC; and numerous nieces and nephews.
