Judith Ellen Bernstein, 63. On July 5 , 2019, at her home in Chevy Chase, Maryland of metastatic breast cancer.
Judy was gifted with a deep intelligence and a wonderful sense of humor. She found great beauty and joy in the simplest of things and was an enthusiastic, knowledgeable patron of the arts, especially ballet. She was influential and respected in her long professional career at the law and government relations firm VanNess Feldman LLP, where she leaves many cherished friends. Her strong, passionate opinions informed a life lived on her own terms, guided by a true ethical compass, and a desire to help others. She was generous with her time to family and friends, and charitable to many worthy causes.
Judy demonstrated remarkable strength and determination in the face of her illness, yet staunchly refused to be defined by it. She maintained her dignity to the very end of her life. Judy’s love, grace, elegance and sense of style will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
