Judy was an amazing woman. Smart, funny, humble, kind--I have thought of her often in the decades since I worked for her at UDRI. Two stories stand out, and in case she never told them to her kids, here they are: (1) She told us one day that when she first got married, she would save all the fat that got rendered from bacon and other meats, in a can on the back of her sink. Her mother had always done this, and so Judy thought she was supposed to. One day the can filled up, so she called her mom to find out what she was supposed to do with it. Her mom said, "Judy, that was for the war effort. They used it to make gunpowder. The war is over--throw it out!" (2) She wanted to make a cake for Norm, but didn't really know what she was doing. She had seen her mom make angel food cakes for her dad and cool them by balancing the cakes upside down. So she made a standard sheet cake, and when it came out of the oven she tried to turn it upside down and balance it on some bottles. It fell out of the pan and all over the counter, so she jigsawed the pieces back together and slathered it all with icing, hoping Norm would not comment. Took another call to her mom, I guess, for her to find out that angel food cakes are the ONLY cakes that get cooled upside down like that. Judy was the best. She will be greatly missed! My condolences to her family, and may her memory be a blessing!

Judy & her husband Norm were longtime friends of my parents. I also worked for her while I was a UD student. She was a never-ending source of information and humorous anecdotes. I still have the handmade pottery she gave as holiday gifts to the student employees & several pieces of art glass jewelry she made later. I will remember Judy as very warm, funny and kind lady.
