Judy M. Pierce

I worked with Judy on the Burlington Garden Club Board and truly enjoyed her love for the club, her cute jokes and her love for the garden. She will be missed! My prayers are with the family.

Such sadness to hear of her sudden passing. Judy was a wonderful supervisor for S.M.A. when I was a long time student in that program. She made sure she ran a tight ship and the student get the best for their needs. She will be sorely missed. Rest in Paradise Judy, thank you for all you have given to the deaf community.

We remember Judy fondly, as a good friend of mine through the Burlington Garden Club. And later, she let us park our pontoon boat at her dock on the Fox River in Waterford, and my husband Josh and I and our 5 kids loved to come and visit her (and her cute little dog) when we took the boat out. Judy was a gem and a blessing, and I am so sorry to hear she is gone from this earth. My prayers to her family, that the Lord would be their comfort in this time of grieving.

Where do I begin with my memories of my cherished long time friend Judy. We go back many many years ago We grew up together we went through grade school, high school. We made our confirmation together. We went through Brownies, Girl Scouts, and Senior Girl Scouts together. Judy went on further in scouting she became a leader and if I remember even went further than that. We had one of the greatest Scout Leaders during our scouting years which is probably why she continued her scouting years. Both Judy's Mom and my Mom became Girl Scout Leaders of our Girl Scout Troop (if I remember it was Troop 246). Judy as a young girl wore her hair in braids, which I always admired about her she always had a different braid style every day going to school. Judy worked in her grandparents packaging store front packing up spices that were named after her Judy Mae Spices. We always kept in touch over the many years.. We shared our ups and downs. She had a beautiful outlook on life no matter what, had a terrific sense of humor, her smile was contagious, her Christmas Letters were always something I looked forward to. She had a beautiful way of writing about her life and her families which she loved very much. She not only touched my life in so many ways as I'm sure she touched many others. I cherished the friendship I had with Judy she will be in my heart forever she was like family to me. Love You Judy RIP Till We Meet Again

I am extremely honored to have known Judy both professionally and as a dear friend. She was an icon in our field of education of the deaf. She served as a teacher and an administrator in a variety of different settings. Judy was devoted to her family and cherished by her family and friends. My condolences to her family and I hope your memories of Judy and her delightful personality will guide you in this difficult time. Joan FORNEY

My wife and I are so sorry to learn of Judy's passing. I had the privilege and pleasure of working with her via SMA, ISD and her jobs in Springfield! She was not only bright, capable and enthusiastic, but a joy to be around both professionally and socially. Her favorite phrase to me was always the same--"lighten-up"---arrived on every note and Christmas card. I will miss that, and her !
