Judith Silbert

On March 5, 2026, Judith Silbert, 87, passed away peacefully in Easton, MD. But many decades earlier in The Bronx, Mrs. Brown had a lovely daughter, and young Judy would grow to love the New York baseball Giants, dancing, and Sid Caesar. She graduated from Morris High, a year after Colin Powell. For further education, City College was the usual choice but not for Judy: She picked Hunter College. There, she began to rethink her dream of being a TV "script girl" and found her true calling as an elementary school teacher.

Marriage to Alan Silbert - which lasted 56 years till his passing - would soon bring a daughter, Marilyn, and then baby Jack. By that time, Al's work had brought the young family out to the suburbs and beyond: Connecticut, New Jersey, California, Maryland, New Jersey again, and Maryland again. When the kids seemed old enough, Judy returned to the classroom as a teacher's aide, including special services, which she continued until retirement.

Which brings us to the Eastern Shore. Relaxation but just as often volunteering: at the Maritime Museum, or on Election Day, or making sandwiches for the underserved, etc. There were new friends, new activities (billiards? Why not!), new international travels, but there was always love, then, now, forever.
