She is survived by her loving husband of 62 years, Art Hofberg, sons, Karl Hofberg (Jodi) of Graham and Mark Hofberg (Susie) of Charlotte; grandsons, Jacob Hofberg and Alexander Hofberg; nephews, Will Symington (Lou) of Houston, TX and Jack Symington (Pam) of Rockford, IL; sisters-in-law, Judy Tymes (Norlin) of New Bern and Lois Bankert (Bates) of Port Angeles, WA; as well as several other nieces and nephews.
Judy grew up in Yonkers, NY. She moved to Burlington with her family in 1973. She was a stay-at-home mom raising her two sons and completed her degree from Technical College of Alamance. Judy worked as a part-time real estate agent, as well as a tax preparer with H & R Block. Her hobbies included quilting, taking nature walks, gardening, playing scrabble and meeting up with friends at the Senior Center for mahjong. She volunteered for many years with Meals on Wheels and regularly attended the YMCA as part of the Silver Sneakers program.
