Judith Flower Obituary

Judith Choate Flower, psychologist, community leader, and devoted mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully on January 20, 2026, at the age of 88.

Born on May 30, 1937, in Irvington, New Jersey, Judith Choate Flower dedicated her life to service-professionally, civically, and within her family. In 1983, she moved to Vermont, where she became deeply engaged in mental health care and public service.

Judith was a co-founder of the Brattleboro Pastoral Counseling Center, helping expand access to compassionate, faith-informed mental health services. Her work reflected a lifelong commitment to supporting individuals and families through life's challenges with dignity, insight, and hope.

She also served her community through public office, spending 12 years on the Jamaica Town Board, where she was respected for her thoughtful leadership, fairness, and dedication to the town's well-being.

A lifelong learner, Judith earned her undergraduate degree from Douglass College, majoring in Health and Physical Education. She went on to receive a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Southern Connecticut State College and completed a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) at Antioch University.

Judith is survived by her husband, Edward Emil Flower, Jr., her sons, Mark Flower and Jonathan Flower, as well as four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Viewing will be held at the Newfane Congregational Church on Saturday, January 24, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., followed by a service at 12:00 p.m.

Memorial contributions may be made to Newfane Congregational Church, 11 Church Street, P.O. Box 27, Newfane, VT 05345.
