Judy was a devoted member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Carney’s Point for sixty-nine years. A graduate of Penns Grove High School, class of ’52, Judy loved growing up in Penns Grove and enjoyed nothing more than dancing with her favorite partner. As her life work, Judy and Neil founded Clement School for Exceptional Children in 1970 which provided care and education for thousands of local young children, including many with special needs, for thirty-nine years. She received the ‘Silver Spurs Award” from Ranch Hope for her work with children and retired in 2009 at the age of 75. As well as wife and mother, Judy realized other dreams such as earning her certificate as an insurance broker, owning a local boutique selling fashionable women’s clothes, serving on the board of directors of the local YMCA and ministering in many ways at her church. Know as the “party-girl,” she enjoyed spending time at her trailer in West Cape May during the summer, loved horse racing and playing cards, and expressed her creativity in home decorating. She will be remembered by many friends and acquaintances for her beautiful brown eyes, her big, bright smile, her friendly way, and her “larger than life” presence.
