Dear Suzie, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I always loved "Judith"... as you called her. My Mom also had Alzheimer's Disease. An unforgiving illness. Peace. Love, Lynnevin

I am so saddened to learn of the passing of Judith Wright. She was an amazing woman, full of spunk and energy! And don't forget warmth, love, and compassion! She was an award-winning teacher and a talented artist. The First Unitarian Church of Omaha was blessed to have her as a congregant. I worked on church projects with her, and she was always such a delightful and creative individual. Our World was all the better for her! My deepest condolences to her family.

I worked in the Omaha Public Schools with Mrs. Wright. I was a fourth grade classroom teacher at Dundee School. Judith was an exceptional Art teacher who travelled to numerous schools. I was in awe as she motived and inspired my students to create unique and striking art. She was no nonsense, creative and humorous. Our students excelled and worked cooperatively under her direction. My condolences to the family.

I had the great honor of working with Judith at Walnut Hill. Not only was she a talented artist but a great teacher. I am so very sorry for your loss.

She loved art education fiercely and worked to lead in a way that would raise the the level of instruction for students. She worked as an Omaha Education Association representative to pass a 10 day cycle for scheduling that equalized the number of days for all elementary art students. I can´t imagine my art teaching career without her...
