In Loving Memory
I was shocked and sad to read of Judy's death. She was a special colleague. I will miss her spirit of adventure, enthusiasm, energy, and determination.
I recall one time she and I were playing tennis, she was up 5-0.She then laughingly declared that she would beat me 6-0. Needless to say, that got my dander up. The final score was 7-5 (I won). I think that was the last time Judy invited me to play tennis. Like me, she did not like to lose.
The last time I saw Judy was leaving a film showing at the Sundance Film Festival. She didn't just have a single ticket....she had a Sundance pass for as many films as she could see in the space of 7-10 days..
I am sorry I was unable to attend her memorial service (I was out of town). I would like to contribute to a charity of Judy's choice in her memory. Is there an address I can ask to have the acknowledgement sent? (my email: marge.pett@nurs.utah.edu).
Thank you, and thank you Judy for being the person you were.......

Judy was almost a beloved Aunt in our family (Berwalds). I spent many weekends with Judy either doing our movie marathons or having Aunt Judy expose me to the arts. She was beloved by our family.

Over the last 41 years Judy, Chuck and I shared so many of our ups, downs, love and frustrations. There was always a sympathetic ear and offer to help at times of need. And to share the laughs and joy when things were going well. We did this for each other. We played tennis, skied, camped , traveled and always there was good. She fit right in with our cousins in Italy - who needs language over fun and food. We made great memories - Chuck trying to lift her suitcase into the overhead on the way back from Italy (filled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil) thank god we left the wine there - all gifts for her friends back home. Judy arriving Christmas eve with a FEW appetizers -big trays of shrimp, salmon, cheese, bread etc,etc. the dog(Pepper or Tulip) and even one time her beloved birds. She did not travel willingly into the limitations of aging. Go with love dear friend.

Judy was indeed a unique and wonderful person with an infectious laughter. She always lit up a room with her presence and sense of humor. Good for her for beating her three brothers at tennis!! Jake and I will miss her.

I'll say Judy was a character! She came to my 50's Theme Birthday Party in her cheerleading outfit and danced the jitterbug with any and all. That was just a bit over 10 years ago. She and her infectious laugh will be missed!
