Judith, an only child of immigrant parents, was active in the life of each member of her family - 4 children, 12 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren. In high school, she was in the A Course at Western High School and developed into an accomplished violinist, having received scholarship assistance from the Peabody Preparatory program. Once her children were grown, Judy completed her Bachelor’s degree at The University of Baltimore and enjoyed a fulfilling career working at Towson University. Judith was involved in the community in a variety of ways, as a Girl Scout leader, an ESL teaching assistant, and the chair of the activities committee at Roland Park Place. Throughout her life, Judy loved to travel locally and internationally and always dreamed of new places to visit. Her vibrancy, sense of humor, and unconditional love will be greatly missed.
