Judith was a vibrant, classy and caring woman who enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She loved spending summer days on Cape Cod and living in the Florida Gulf Coast area. Her earliest fond memories were at her beloved summer camp where she embraced fun and friendships. In her young adulthood, Judith was proud to have worked at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Brookline, MA. Judith's greatest joy was watching her family pursue their passions of sports, music, faith, family, cooking, and professions to name a few. She was an avid reader, creative painter, skilled Nantucket basket weaver, dog & cat lover, and adored all things beautiful. When asked, "Why do you collect so many frogs?"
