Judy Schriebman

1955 - 2022

Judith Anne Schriebman, beloved wife of Jeffrey Schriebman and daughter of William and Rosemarie Webb, died in her home on the morning of Sunday, November 20, 2022, surrounded by family. Judy was born on April 3, 1955, in San Francisco and moved to Marin two years later, attending St Raphael's Elementary School and Marin Catholic High School. She graduated with a degree in Zoology from UC Berkeley. She met Jeff in 1974 at the Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco where she was exhibiting her pet turtles. Jeff had two turtles of his own and they bonded over their pets. They married in 1979 and in 1985 moved to Tokyo, Japan for 5 years with their two children, David and Robin. They returned to Marin in 1990 to be close to both sets of parents.Judy became a homeopathic practitioner when she saw its holistic benefits to her young children, co-authoring The Trituration Handbook and Birds: Homeopathic Remedies from the Avian Realm. A lifelong lover of the environment (especially the water), Judy passed her values on to her children and the broader Marin community. In 2007, Judy was elected to the Board of Directors of the Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District. She helped create the Gallinas Watershed Council in 2004 and in 2013 she helped found the Watershed Alliance of Marin (WAM). Judy was also Chair of the Marin Group-Sierra Club Executive Committee and active in the Los Ranchitos Improvement Association Board of Directors. She spearheaded Gallinas Creek cleanup events and the floating island project to clean up the water in the Marin Civic Center Lagoon.She loved her chickens, hosting summer pool parties, and raising vegetables in the garden. She cherished her vacations in Hawaii where she would spend each day snorkeling among the fish and sea turtles and loved her yearly camp outs in Hendy Woods State Park with her extended family. Her wisdom, leadership, and sense of humor will be missed.In addition to her husband Jeff, son David Schriebman, and daughter Robin Schriebman, she is survived by her sister Jeanne Taylor, and brothers, Dave Webb and Steven Webb. There will be a celebration of Judy's life this coming Spring. In lieu of flowers, donations should be made to the Watershed Alliance of Marin.
