Not sure what to say?

Sally was an amazing woman. I was her hair stylist for over 18 years and I enjoyed hearing her stories of her adventures. She had a great scense of humor and was always young at heart. She lived an amazing life and made a huge impact in the art community. She also made a huge impact on me and I will be forever grateful to have been her friend and stylist! Rip Sally , We miss you

What a magnificent person who truly supported the arts and artists. It was pure joy to be part of the Sally Judd Gallery. She inspired us with meaningful life lessons and encouraged us in so many ways all her life

Sally was a big part of my life growing up. She was a dear friend of my mother's, and always gave me great advice. She had the best laugh and I remember her enthusiam! My condolences to her family, especially Becky.

When was working at the Northwest Film Center in 1978-83, Sally was head of PNCA. She was alway so kind, open hearted and available to talk to. It was a deep inspiration to see a woman in that position and such a pleasure to know her. What a grand lady!

Much love to David and family. The tribute to your mother is beautiful! Thinking of you.

Sally was a mentor and friend and the 10 years I spent working as her Assistant at PNCA were among the most meaningful of my life. John, my condolences as you deal with this sad event. Janice Gunderson

Sally was an inspiration to me and a terrific guide, when I came to PNCA as an "older" art student-27yrs old back then. Her encouragement to stretch myself to teach in the Anna B Crocker program has helped me to become the art teacher I have been for the last 25 years. I am sad to hear she is gone. It was her support of all of the students that helped PNCA grow, so her memory will live on in many people.

Thinking of you Mom. Love, David

Oh, Sally. You will be forever remembered for all you did to keep art in our lives. You made such a beautiful and strong path for us to folow. Thank you.
