Judy Jack Lewis

Judy was born in Kenmore, NY on November 5, 1952, to Joseph and Elizabeth Jack. As a girl, Judy hosted a charm school in her parents’ basement where she taught the neighborhood children manners and etiquette. She would put these lessons into practice as a young woman to earn the title of Miss Buffalo in 1972.

After graduating from Cardinal O’Hara High School and Buffalo State University, Judy attended modeling school. She was a member of the cheer squad for the Buffalo Braves basketball team and could be seen modeling clothes on AM Buffalo. Judy’s competitive spirit came alive on the tennis court where she won the 1984 MUNY women’s over-30 championship.

Judy’s graceful demeanor and competitive spirit contributed to her successful career as a top performing Realtor in Western New York. Judy never stopped learning and growing as the industry evolved, and she fostered a glowing reputation among both clients and colleagues.

Judy served on the ECMC Foundation Board and previously on the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation Board.

Judy will be dearly missed by her devoted husband, Larry; children Marissa (James) Nuelle, Garron (Sheel) Solomon, and Caroline (Leon) Fridmar; beloved grandchildren Alexis, Brooke, Chloe, Maximilian, and Arabella.
