Judith Hill Rothrock

I will always have gratitude for Judy´s support and understanding as my family and I struggled through a most difficult time in our lives. She was a teacher whose wisdom in many ways saved my life and gave me the courage to create another, more beautiful one. I will always remember her.

I will always remember Judy for sharing her her compassion and wisdom during the many years she coincided me and my family, and most of all for the loving support to my beautiful daughter, the late Stephanie Hager. Our life was tumultuous at the time, and she was our rock. Years later, I met her daughter at the memorial service for Steph, who left us too early at age 46. She, too, was compassionate, kind, and understanding. It is with both a grateful and still heavy heart that I write this...

Little did I know that a few years after the world lost Judy, we would lose our beloved daughter, Stephanie, who loved her dearly as she helped her navigate the turbulent waters of our difficult family life. I was so surprised and touched to meet her daughter, who came to Steph's service. Judy was a true jewel in my life, and in Steph's. I am forever grateful for the support and encouragement she gave to me, enabling me to discover my true self and create the full and enriched life that we...

Judy helped me through my turbulent mid teen years. I am not sure she knew how instrumental she was in making me the person I am today. I often think of her words and guidance so many years later. Thanks Judy.

Judy's gentle guidance helped me find my way from the darkness into the light. She was my beacon of hope for many years as I sat with her in both her Red Bank and Fair Haven offices. I will never forget her and how she helped me and my family.
Reading her beautiful obituary confirmed in my heart that I was blessed to have known this very special woman. Thank you always, Judy. You are missed.

Your beloved son,

I spent many hours speaking to Judy at Bayshore Youth Services Bureau in Keyport at my first full time job as a Youth Worker after graduating Monmouth University. She helped me out in many areas and was always a source of inspiration and guidance at BYSB...

I recently heard about Judith's death. She was such a wonderful part of our ROOTs group. Her devotion to living as sustainably as possible was an inspiration to all of us. We have all lost a dear and compassionate friend.
