Judy had an illustrious career working for the Montgomery County Board of Education.  She shared her lifelong passion for teaching both in and outside the classroom.  Students from her English classes were invited to share family meals and activities.  Trips to museums, Broadway shows, and Shakespeare performances were frequent additions to their academic curriculums.

She continued her own passion for learning throughout her retirement years with attendance at the OSHER Johns Hopkins Continuing Education program for more than 20 years.

Judy had been a member and frequent attendee for almost 50 years at Congregation Har Shalom of Potomac, MD.  Doing mitzvahs and offering support for their community was part of her way of giving back to so many who had given to her and her family.

Loving sister of Susan Klieman and Carol (Allen) Lowe and the late Dr. Charles H.
