Hi Judy & Family: you are with me all summer long, as I tend the flowers you so graciously donated to the Brattleboro Parks. I look forward to seeing your flowers bloom in the spring all the way to fall. I love you Judy, and thank you for all you did for the Brattleboro Garden Club, and all the love you gave to everyone you worked with. xoxo JilMac xoxo

Wayne, sorry for your loss. Bud van pelt

This is our 2nd spring with our Newest Garden Angel. Judy shared many plants with the Brattleboro Garden Club. I see her presence in gardens we have created for the town. I smile, remembering the two of us in her yard, digging up plants, in our hobo Garden outfits, knee pads, and the wonderful golf cart that her husband got her with garbage cans filled with shovels, rakes, etc. Her beautiful dogs in the gardens, and after filling my van with Garden treasures, the two of us sitting on the...

Judy was a great neighbor in Wellfleet and always had a smile and an interesting story. We all miss her presence.

Wayne, her boys, their wives and her beloved grandchildren. I was in the Brattleboro Garden Club with Judy. She was a do-er, we loved gardening together. Nothing better then being in garden soil and listening to Judy tell stories. We were Mud Sisters. We looked like hobo's with our knee pads, wrist supports, garden tools, smiling with mud on our faces. All the plants that she gave away, bloomed this spring magnificently. She is in the Gardens at the Creamery Bridge Park, the Church,...

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Judith Wagenbach. I had the privilege of being a home economics student during her first year at Morris Plains Borough School and she immediately became my favorite teacher. Years later, she and my mother, Carol Terhune, began working together at Mountain Way School and became friends. As an adult and mother of two, I lived in MA and vacationed on Cape Cod and had the pleasure of spending a day at Judy and Wayne's home there with my mother...

My 3 daughters were lucky to have Judy as their teacher in Borough School. Her classroom was a refuge for everyone in the school and you could always find a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for those who forgot their lunch or couldn´t afford to bring a lunch. I volunteered at the school library and Judy often joined us for lunch. Even when I joined the Board of Ed she was still warm and welcoming. I was so happy to see her at a dedication for former principal Ed Paone last year. She was the...

Dear Wayne: So very sorry to read of your wife's passing. My sincere sympathy to you and the rest of the family. Best, Diane
