Judith Youngwood Obituary

YOUNGWOOD--Judith. The Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services acknowledges with great sadness the death of Judith Youngwood, an extremely dedicated and longstanding trustee. Judith served on many key board committees and always provided invaluable wisdom and advice. A fine, intelligent, and caring person, she and Alfred generously supported the agency and our collaborative work at her beloved Central Synagogue. Judith's valiant fight against her illness was emblematic of her amazing courage and tenacity. Devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Judith will be greatly missed but her guiding spirit will always be with us. John A Herrmann, President Jean L. Troubh and Joseph S. Kaplan, Co-Chairs of the Board Paul Levine, Executive V.P. and CEO
