Judy began her career as a caseworker with the Department of Public Welfare in Richmond, and later joined the Catholic Charities in Portsmouth. Following her graduation from Washington University in 1968, she became the Chief Social Worker at the Child Center of Our Lady of Grace in St. Louis, and later served as a Supervisor for the Girl Scout Council of Greater St. Louis. While in St. Louis, Judy was an instructor at the Graduate School of Social Work at St. Louis University and at Washington University. She served on the Board of Governors at St. Louis University and was on the Board of Directors at the Missouri State Women’s Political Caucus.
After returning to Hampton Roads, Judy obtained a position with the City of Chesapeake Department of Social Services, and later, at Portsmouth Psychiatric Center. She continued her career in private practice as a Psychotherapist, which she maintained until the onset of her illness in 2013.

Judy was a supporter of disability and environmental causes and throughout her life was an advocate for the safety and protection of animals. She was a member of the Virginia Beach Mayor’s Commission on Disabilities.
Myra would like to express her heartfelt thanks to the many nurses, doctors and other hospital staff who worked so hard to insure Judy’s comfort; and a special appreciation to Dr. Nadeem Inayet, a most compassionate pulmonologist and critical care physician with Sentara Princess Anne Hospital.

I have just learned of Judy’s passing and am so sorry. Judy was part of my childhood and I have many wonderful memories at John Tyler and all the way through Wilson. While I haven’t had any family in Portsmouth for many years and haven’t been in touch for years, I do remember her fondly. You have my deepest sympathy.

Myra, I was sorry to read of your sisters passing . It seems she was a very remarkable woman and I’m sure a great sister to you. I vaguely remember her from our Waterview days. Sadness will transcend to happy memories. Just wanted to say to you and your family that you are in my prayers at this time.
