A proud graduate of the University of Missouri, Judith earned her Bachelor of Arts in Education in 1969. Her dedication to women’s education led her to become a member of the P.E.O.

Judith was a passionate educator, teaching 8th grade and supporting her husband through medical school by working as a telephone operator.

Judith’s commitment to her community was evident through her involvement in various organizations, including attending Bible studies at the Church of the Servant, volunteering with the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program, and serving as secretary at her local Presbyterian church in North Carolina. Her professional journey included roles as executive assistant to the president of Massachusetts College of Pharmacy & Health Science and as a medical staff office manager at Kindred Hospital, where she worked until her retirement.

A tireless volunteer and fantastic grandmother, Judith had a remarkable ability to bring joy to those around her. She was known for her selflessness, positivity, and unwavering love for her family. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness and compassion that will never be forgotten by all who know her.

Judith is also survived by her beloved grandchildren: Christopher, Ashley, Jordan, Rachel, Thomas, Abigail, Madeline, Katherine, and Brayden.

She will be dearly missed and forever cherished in our hearts.
