I offer my sincere condolences to Professor Schiebout family and close friends.  I know the Professor through correspondences only, I live in Michigan. I and my family have been the recipients of the Schiebout family’s hospitality since the mid 40’s when my Uncle Ivan received permission to hunt on the family’s property in Walkerville Michigan.  Even though we only corresponded a handful of times each fall, the professor was always friendly and cordial and I looked forward to sharing snipes of what was going on in our in our lives.

Sincerely
Rex Malarik


As always, this comes as unexpected. Judith Schiebout was a remarkable helper in supplying me with a thesis focus and aided me endlessly as I went along in my career.  Although micropaleontology was far enough from her focus, she went along famously with encouraging me in my studies. There have been few like her and never enough with her kindness and attributes. She is missed.

I have fond memories of cousin Judy’s visits to northwest Iowa when we were children.  Sending my sympathy to her friends and colleagues.


Judy and I both graduated in 1964 from Robert E. Lee High School in San Antonio, Texas.  I’d lost track of her until I mentioned to a classmate that my daughter was in grad school studying Paleontology.  He told me that our old classmate, Judy Schiebout had acquired her Doctorate in Paleontology and was teaching at LSU. My daughter called and spoke with Judy who encouraged her to continue her studies.  They reconnected again when my daughter received her Doctorate and accepted a teaching position at The University of Southern MIssissippi.  I will remember Judy as a most unique, focused and committed individual, a scientist through and through.

Judy did many good and generous deeds quietly. She was a good and loyal best friend and guardian angel to my mother, Nita. When I lived out of state, Judy kept mom company with calls, and lunches and invited her to cat shows and gem & mineral shows. When I was home for a visit and when I moved back to Baton Rouge, Judy took us out to lunch. When my mother had a severe stroke, Judy visited mom in the hospital and nursing home and checked up on me while I was dealing with mom's house, bills, etc.  Judy read one of my mom's favorite passages at her funeral, and then she kept a watchful eye on me. I remember our talks on the phone and over lunch. Judy was so smart and accomplished, but also a good and dear lady through and through! I'll miss her, but she is in God's house now, a much better place where all her physical struggles are over.
