Judy...I am still in a state of shock that you are not here and so grateful that we just had dinner together to celebrate your birthday. Im very happy that Steve did not listen to me when he asked who my cute girlfriend was and I said .. "Forget it Steve..You are not her type"  so many memories and too many times spent together to fit in this space. My heart goes out to Steve, Ellen, Suzy and Zack and all the friends from all over the world that adore and love you. Your life made a difference to so many people  Rest In Power dear friend. I will miss you. 

Judy and I began to know one another over the many unfortunate times of sadness and loss which occurred in our families over a short period of time. Cousins (in-law), living on opposite sides of the country and busy with whatever people get busy with, we didn’t make the occasion to get together much otherwise. However, Judy broke that unfortunate run by suggesting we have a family reunion in the spring at Marcia’s home in Red Hook. I came to learn that Judy was a producer of all things life, large and small.  It was such a rich and warm occasion and allowed all the cousins and partners the opportunity to reconnect and support each other and for those like me, the "sort of" newcomer to the extended clan, know these notorious (good notorious) cousins better.

My memory from that weekend may get the hazy details backward but her sense of humor showed itself that spring morning by pretending to be her twin Susie at the B&B’s breakfast in order to snag her meal.  I chuckle when I think of that twin trick - especially when you know they are fraternal twins!  

My heart is with Steve, Zack, Ellen, Susie, Paul, Ben, and Ruth.  I am going through Nana's family photos now which are being archived to give to you.

I hear Judy's chuckle and see her smile recalling her exuberance ! Always active, curious and industrious my younger twin cousin lived life to the hilt.  Her friendships were many and her family loved. Personally I remember Judy as most kind and helpful when I needed her.  She seemed to have boundless energy  ready for the next challenge. I admired that. Judy that little toddler I pushed on the swing and babysat for will remain in my heart forever.

Judy was indeed one of a kind. Her energy, creativity and passionate beliefs defined who she was. We were privileged to know her, socially, and Man Jit even met her at work. We will miss her. We are here for you if you need us…Susie, Steve, Paul and Zack. Love Srila and Man Jit 

Judy took me in when I first moved to LA 2.5 years ago. The second I landed I received a text asking for a hike - and soon learned that 10am was far too late. Luckily we compromised with 9am, and the adventures continued from there. Whenever I saw Judy and got situated in my kayak, bike or on the hiking trail - we dove right into conversation. She was always incredibly open, sharing, passionate and FUN. There are so many people in life you HAVE to talk to - but I found myself truly enjoying every single moment spent with Judy. Her energy was so invigorating that we always lost track of time - so much so that I wouldn't tell her we should probably turn around - even 3 hours into hiking, when I could barely feel my legs. In addition to sharing, she was an incredible listener, and always gave me really honest, helpful advice. She never held back in anything she did - whether vocalizing an opinion, diving into something new, or showing up to every plan with her full attention and excitement. I am a changed person because of Judy and even after just a few years of spending quality time together, I can now think "what would Judy do, what would Judy say, how would Judy live" - My "Judy compass" will help guide me and I hope guide others forever. I miss her already and my sincere condolences to Steve and the rest of Judy's family. So much love pouring from our broken hearts, and she will be celebrated always.

May her memory be a blessing.  She had an infectious laugh and drive for adventure.

Judy was so full of life and so much fun to be around. I always admired how unapologetically herself she always was. She lived life on her own terms, and what an amazingly full life it was. 

Here's to you, dear friend. ❤️

Judy packed 100 years of activity and vitality into 70 years of life. She touched and enriched so many of lives. How fortunate we are to have had great adventures and profound memories.

I hadn't seen Judy for many years but last month she joined me and Susie kayaking in the Marina. That's how I will always see her, paddling and laughing. I know she will be greatly missed. May her memory be a blessing. 

Sending condolences to Susie, Paul , Ben , Ruth , Steve and Zack . Judy  will be missed by many.  May her memory be a blessing.    Love, Bonnie and Peter 

Celebrating one of our birthdays.

I simply loved her to pieces.

We are so sorry to hear about Judy's passing. We met her and Steve via Kalman and Wendy Edelman. She was such an advocate for being on the move and had such a jovial laugh and smile. May her memories of life and laughter bring you comfort. Love, David and Luisa Schulman

Bumped into Judy and Steve while riding at the beach. Their smiles warm our hearts.

I always think of Judy when I remember her laughter, love of life and how guilty I always felt because I couldn’t be as in love with physical fitness as she was. The first words out of my mouth these past few sad days have been “she actually signed up for boot camp” and went!!

Judy, Steve, and Zack gathered with us last July for the merry occasion of my sister's twins turning one. It was a heartfelt, family event. Zack cooked up backyard seafood feasts for everyone. I am grateful for that time together. This is a video of my dad toasting to the "people of my family's life." So happy that Judy was one of them.  Sending lots of love to everyone.
