Not sure what to say?

I sang with Judy in the Charleston Symphony Chorus. She was very supportive when I served as the president of that organization. But, I fondly remember one night when I stayed with her after a rehearsal, when she had locked her keys in her car. It was late, but we had good laughs while chatting until the locksmith arrived. May your memory be for a blessing, Judith. Dwight Williams

I met Judy in Charleston over 20 years ago, and she always claimed that I convinced her to live in Charleston and to try out for ther Charleston Symphony Orchestra Chorus before refurning to her home so that she would be ready to go when she moved here. So she did. The rest is history. What wonderful times we shared. Miss you so much. JUlie Fenimore

I also knew Judy in college and admired her for many reasons. We were sorority sisters as well, but our paths didn't cross often. Many years later we reconnected with the Charleston area W&M Alumni Chapter. I always enjoyed catching up with her, and my admiration for her did not diminish over the years. My condolences to her family and many friends.

I was a sorority sister of Judy´s from William and Mary. I remember Judy for her kindness, quick whit and infectious laugh. She loved life and those around her. I visited her in Charleston and we enjoyed going out for shrimp and grits and reminiscing about old times. We will miss you, Judy! Sending special love and condolences to her family.
