Read MoreMy family would always gather around the TV together to watch the news on, as Mother would call it, "The Journal Station". My sister and I couldn't wait to see what lovely outfit Miss Marks would be wearing. To young girls growing up in Milwaukee in the 1960s, she was the epitome of style, grace, and elegance. Our prayers and sympathy go out to her family. Fondly, "The Murphy Girls".

I was in error in my tribute to Judy. It was during the early 60s, not the 80s. At my age, I do make mistakes.
With love to Judy,

During the early 60s, I had the pleasure of working with Judy on Wed nights as the band leader at the Hilton Hotel, were we did a live radio broadcast on WTMJ. I was able to get the weekly tapes of the show and recently had them put on disks. It is a pleasure to listen to them because it brings back so many wonderful memories of those good days. Judy was so much fun to work with because one could see that she was having such a great time being the hostess. I will remember her...

To The Family of Judy,
News of Judy's passing arrived in my life this morning, here in Costa Rica. I am saddened by her passing, but know she is now doing so well, again, in her new home. A very true friend to me at that place on Capitol Drive, Judy has always been remembered, and she always will be. There was no one finer, as a person, than Judy. Rest Easy Dear Lady, and may your family accept my deepest sympathy in their loss.

My Mom said to light a candle for Judy, and send her Pyayers to the family. Mom's 98 and she/dad always said what a "Great Gal" Judy was and how she and Dad enjoyed the weather with her at TMJ-4. A young gal who related the weather so well and made theirs/others evening. Judy touched so many with her warmth. Mom said she was one of a kind, hasn't enjoyed anyone like her since, except for Jon Green, "The Green House"- a true TV/radio lover of the best of the best.
So this is from...

Remember meeting Judy Marks back in the 60's out in Pewaukee at a house party on the lake. Always saw her on TV when I was a kid and everyone loved her. It was a "special event" for me to meet her in person.
She was a true Icon, everyone looked forward to seeing Judy on TV displaying the weather as only she could do. She will be missed by all who remember her back in the day.
Condolences to the family, a true loss.

Judy was a real friend to me when I moved here right out of the US Army to work at WTMJ Radio...a beautiful friend inside and out, who made my transition easier and more fun. Those who liked her for her on-air presence should know that she was a genuine delight to know pwersonally too. God Bless you Judy!
