“I went through chemo and radiation myself”

Judy Murray is a Casper native who loves her hometown and just enjoys life. After Judy was diagnosed with breast cancer she went through chemo and radiation here in Casper. After coming through her treatments with the support of her chemo buddy and all of the staff at Rocky Mountain Oncology, she wanted to give back, so she became an Angel volunteer helping other cancer patients get through their treatments.

Judy is a devoted mother, wife, and volunteer. The most important thing in Judy’s life is her family; her husband Critter and her four amazing children, Slim, Sam, Sally, and Ned.

Right now Judy rocks around Casper, helping everyone she can, enjoying life and enjoying her time with Ned before he graduates high school.
