Judy Baker Kiser

As has so often been stated, Judy was like a mother to Sean and I. The type of mother that when the children are grown, child and mother become best of friends. That was our relationship. The four of us had so much in common as well as shared and common vision for Third Lutheran Church. She was vibrant, passionate and as I said in my sermon, fierce! You either agreed with her or learned to lovingly appreciate her passion for Christ's love and compassion for the people society moves to the...

Worked with Judy at Rogers Middle School when she taught home-ec (a subject that is no longer taught but much needed by our youth.) She always had kind words to say, gave her all to students and staff, and I always felt so comfortable knowing she always had my back like she did for so many others.
R.I.P. dear friend! YOU WILL BE MISSED BY MANY!

In our college years at FSU, Judy was like a second mom to me--we had a lot of fun when she and Joe would come to visit and I especially enjoyed when Paul and I would visit them in Sunrise...I especially treasure our pic of all of us (Joe, Judy Paul, Jenn and my beloved late mom, Mother Theresa) at the 1994 Orange Bowl--celebrating FSU's first National Championship! She was a fun, wonderful and loving lady, and she is missed--Sheryl and I send our heartfelt condolences.

I'm grateful for all the time I got to spend with Judy at Third Lutheran. I wish there had been a lot more. I admired her incredible, dynamic energy and will miss her greatly. My heart goes out to her family & her love, Joe, in this time of sorrow.

Remembering those early days at Third Lutheran, Lutheran, remembering and honouring a lady with strength of purpose, drive and spunk. Blessings and peace to Joe, Sarah and Paul and their families, inheritors of Judy's love and care. My husband, Gavin, joins me in prayers for you all now and especially in the weeks and months to follow, when somehow things are supposed to return to "normal." We know God is holding Judy in the palm of His hand, and he has you safely there too.

Judy and Joe have been good friends of my sister's family for so many years it was like they were part of our family. I know Judy was such an amazing woman and it such a great loss. She will be truly missed and never forgotten. May God comfort the Kiser family.

Judy was the best. I was fortunate enough to be her principal when we opened Flanagan. She was both a leader and a learner. I shall always be grateful that I was able to call her both my colleague and friend.

Judy was a friend and co-worker for several years in the Broward County School System. Will truly miss her annual visits to Ft. Lauderdale. My prayers are with her and her loving family. Rest in Peace.
