1964. In 2016, she supported and campaigned for Hillary Clinton for President and for Indiana's statewide Democratic ticket, including candidate for governor John R. Gregg, who had served as Speaker of the House during Frank O'Bannon's time as governor, and lieutenant governor candidate Christina Hale, who had served on Frank O'Bannon's Governor's Office staff. Honors and recognitions In May 2015 the Indiana State Museum recognized O'Bannon with their Heritage Keeper Award for her many contributions to the museum and the State of Indiana. Additionally, the museum renamed its main hall as the Frank and Judy O'Bannon Great Hall, recognition, in part, for the advocacy and support both O'Bannons had provided to the museum for over more than three decades (Judy O'Bannon has been a longtime member of the museum's Board of Directors, and Frank O'Bannon led efforts in the legislature and then as Lieutenant Governor and Governor to fund and ultimately build the new state museum building as the cornerstone of the White River State Park). In 2013, NUVO newsweekly honored O'Bannon's contributions to the community, the arts and culture with its Cultural Vision Award: Lifetime Achievement recognition noting that "...if anyone has earned the right to sit back and put her feet up, it is O'Bannon. But she'd rather kick up her heels - and that is, almost literally, what she continues to do as an elder stateswoman and community activist: traveling the state and the globe, giving speeches, asking questions and figuring out ways to solve global problems with local solutions." The Frank and Judy O'Bannon Old Northside Soccer Park was renamed in 2004 by the City of Indianapolis to recognize the O'Bannons' contributions to the revitalization of the Old Northside Historic District, where they lived during the eight years he served as lieutenant governor. Girls, Inc. of Greater Indianapolis honored O'Bannon in 2008 with its Touchstone Award for her personal and professional achievements that serve to "inspire girls to be strong, smart and bold." As part of its O'Bannon Institute for Community Service, named after Frank O'Bannon, IvyTech Community College of Indiana (the community college system he advocated for and signed into law) created the Judy O'Bannon Youth Leadership Academy "to involve young leaders from diverse backgrounds and experiences in an innovative and creative program designed to foster civic commitment and engagement." On November 16, 2016, O'Bannon was honored by the Indiana Association for Community Economic Development
