I knew Judy and her husband Ashley from my years at the MTA. She had a great sense of humor in an era when pranks and off-color jokes was not something to be afraid of offending people's sensibilities. My sympathies to family and friends as she will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. I met Judy a few times at my sister-in-law's house, as she was also a foster parent. I also worked with Paula and Ron for many, many years.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family of Judy. She was a strong advocate for kids in their toughest days. She loved her family dearly and will be missed by many. May all your memories help you navigate the days ahead. Rest in peace Judy!

To all of Judy's family,

Sincere sympathies on her passing.

Going back thirty-five years ago Judy was a legend in the Foster parenting community and a great resource for those of us who were new at task. Many was the time I would visit her on Candia Rd for help and guidance in between kids running around and the laundry in progress. Sometimes we ended up with the same children as placements and they benefited greatly from her tireless kindness and concern. Sadly so many of our children did not make it to old age but, if their longevity had anything to do with her effort Judy is the reason they made it that far. May the road rise to meet her and until we meet again God hold you in the palm of his hand. RIP
