The sort of teacher whose words you remember decades and decades later. And all positive, humorous or both. Such a wonderful inspiration to young women.

Sr Judith taught me in high school and I worked with her for a year in Samoa. Wonderful woman with the best sense of humor. Having Mass offered for her in Texas.
Rest in peace sweet Sister...

My love & prayers to my special boarding school of 5 year´s friend. I treasured her company & midnight feasts (we were never caught!!) What a beautiful memory of May´s final vigil in our little chapel at St Mary´s which we attended daily.

Judith was our lovely neighbour in Royal Oak before she moved to St Catherine's. She became a good friend to us and our son and, along with Sister Edwina, was like another grandparent to Jamie. We kept contact with her and she always enjoyed our visits; she always spoiled Jamie with chocolate and gifts on his birthdays. Fondly remembered- we will miss her very much. Rest in peace, dear Judith xx

As a 10 year old child at St Mary's College, Sr Judith taught me about the importance of allegories, and how we learn from them. She was respected by students and staff alike. RIL.

My condolences to the RSM community and family of Sr Judith. I remember her as a gracious and dignified woman. She was a woman of wisdom and experience. We were all the better for her influence. May she rest in peace.
