Judith Kay Hofer

You were one amazing woman I was proud to work for. I truly enjoyed my time in Downtown Meier & Frank’s 2nd floor as the Area sales manager for Men’s sportswear, Collections and Luggage for over a year before I had to head back to LA’s Robinson's May in 1996. I was honored and immensely grateful for the opportunity. May you enjoy eternal happiness.

My mother was Judi's best friend for over 60 years and for as long as I can remember, to me, she was Aunt Judi.

My life has been enriched by having had Judi in my life. We shared many moments and created the fond memories to which I now cling. In reflection, it's almost as if she knew that the memories we were creating would sustain me once she was gone. When I think of her passing I need only remember all the moments we had as I shed my tears and then smile.

Because Judi was a...

Truly one of my most inspirational bombshells! Ms. Judy impacted my life the moment we crossed paths. A true gem.

Judy was such an amazing woman. I had the pleasure of knowing her the twenty six years I worked for Estee Lauder. Nothing would bring a smile to my face than to see her doing a walk through with her shoes in hand and bossing all the men around. I so admired her. Judy was a true leader.

Judy was one of my favorite cousins. She was very lucky to be born into such a wonderful family and I have such fond memories of visiting with her and her mother. Kathryn Wassam

I spent some of my happiest day's as a secretary while working for Judi at Famous Barr when she first came to St. Louis in 1978. She was a wonderful boss and a good friend. My deepest sympathy to Gerry, Jane, Jim and Nathan. Not sure if you remember me but I met all of you during your early visits to St. Louis as well as when I was in Oregon visiting when your Mom celebrated her 75th birthday. Lots of wonderful memories of a great lady!

Judi was the most amazing inspiration. I had to joy of working for her early in my career as one of her "baby buyers". She taught me so much and helped me to see how truly powerful women in business can be. She was a gift to all of us that were blessed to be under her guidance. Blessings on your new adventures flying high and soaring free.
