Judith was an inspiration to me when I was beginning my teaching career. She was patient and kind. She was also a lot of fun. I´ll always remember her laugh and the adventures we shared at school and our homes as well. I am thankful I got to call her my friend. Grace and Peace.

Our deepest condolences to Carroll and their family. We taught together with Judy, even carpooling to Odem during our early careers. She inspired me to get on board in getting a Master´s Degree when she went back to get hers. We shared happy and sad moments over the years together, but we´ve never known a greater friend and educational colleague than Judy. After retirement, we delighted in the number of locations we would cross Judy and Carroll´s paths, by chance...always a treasure. Prayers for comfort and peace.

Judy was a wonderful person and had a calming effect in educational trainings and meetings. I met her when she was a teacher and I enjoyed working with her when we were administrators in different public school districts .
