Judith Pickard Yeakel

Judy taught us to reach out and enjoy helping folks. My condolences to her family. I'm sure she has been welcomed to meeting some folks she helped.

Always a smile and a kind word, Judy was an inspiration to all. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I knew Judy as a mentor and friend on the Wayland Board of Trustees. Her quiet voice spoke wisdom from experience; she lived with dignity and quiet passion. She graciously shared her knowledge with me and others. She listened more than she spoke: a valuable lesson to all.
I shall remember her ready smile and gentle presence.

As a Wayland Academy parent and a member of the Board of Trustees, I have always held Judy in the highest regard. My thoughts go out to your family with sympathy and understanding.

Knowing Judy was one of the happy experiences of our life. She was a beautiful person and we shall miss her and think of her whenever we are at Wayland.

My condolences to the bereaved family. May you be comforted by looking forward to God's promise to completely remove the distressing effect of death.

I am Chair of the Board of Trustees of Wayland Academy, a coeducational college preparatory school most dear to Judy and other members of her family. At the time of her passing, Judy was a Trustee Emeritus of Wayland. On behalf of the Trustees, Administration, faculty, students, alumni, and friends of Wayland, I extend my sincere condolences to Judy's family, and express our collective gratitude for her extraordinary financial, spiritual and passionate contributions to Wayland Academy....

Judy Yeakel was one of the grandest ladies I have known. Her quiet humility and grade was a role-model for all of us--male or female. I met her when I joined the Wayland Academy board--and stayed in touch with her through cards and emails through the years especially when I became Chair of the board. She was always so supportive and I shall miss her very much. My heart goes out to her loved ones. All my best,
Susan
