Judith is strongly on my mind at this time and I just wanted to add a note. I knew her through our membership in The Advanced Study Group where our membership worked to stay up to date on research and professional experiences as mental health professionals. This involved gatherings in various states and in numerous communities, and much togetherness over many years. Judith was one of the brightest and most sincere members of the group. We all loved her and all of us knew without a doubt her clients were blessed to have her. We also knew without a doubt she loved her family deeply.

Just ran across a beautiful note Judith wrote me several years ago and looked for her online. Deeply saddened to see she passed away. She was a lovely lady, inside and out. She left a lasting impression on my life for which I am deeply grateful. RIP Judith...

I fondly remember Judy maybe from Melbourne Heights and/or Barrett Jr. High ... at my age not sure where but I know we were friends. Condolences to her family and friends. Wish we'd met again in our older years. Jean Peters Shindlebower

I was a colleague and friend of Judith for nearly 30 years though some professional board work we had both volunteered to do -back in the mid 1990s But Judith isnt someone I was ever going to just let leave my life- as she was such a bright light of spirit and compassion. I am grateful to have known and worked with her as are all who had that chance - Im certain of that.

Judith was such a lovely person- truly. She was passionate about her work both with clients and therapists she mentored/supervised. Gratefully, she leaves a legacy with her family but also with the families and professionals she worked with over the many years. I'm grateful our lives intersected-she will be missed.

I had the great pleasure of working with Judy as a mentor in the CSAT process. She was so knowledgable, kind and helpful. My thoughts are with her family and friends. She was a powerful, positive influence on my work and in my life. Thank you Judy.

I am so very sad to read this! I was just thinking I should call Judith to have lunch!! Judith definitely changed the direction of my life for the better and I've never been the same!!

Judith showed me great kindness, care and respect while she gently walked me through some times with her immense knowledge and experience. To this day I still buy every friend going through tough times the same book she shared with me. Her legacy will remain an indelible ember in my mind and heart.
