Judy was a beautiful person whom I will always hold in the highest regard for her having helped bring our family closer together on thanksgivings an Christmases going back many years.  Even before the pandemic she was often our only guest from out of town. Judy always went out of her way to seek you  out for a conversation and would often flatter you in the most kind and generous way. This Christmas and for gatherings moving forward I know I will look around the room  and be sad that she’s not there. 
On behalf of the entire Kasem family, Thank you Judy

I will always remember my mom as  fun, caring and incredibly strong willed.  She used to tell me that she was my biggest fan.  She continuously made it a point to take interest in what was happening in my life. 
I think that my mom always viewed me as her little boy.  I am eternally grateful that she was able to see that I had grown-up to provide her with two little grandsons that loved their Omi very much.
Although I may never be able to fill this hole in my heart, I take pride in carrying on her legacy of grace, dignity and understanding.

It was a sad surprise when I heard of Judy's passing. 

Judy mentored me into and through leadership as I served for years on several Realtor boards and committees with her. She was a true lady. Her quiet, elegant mannerisms, well-articulated intellect and concern for others were qualities of the bright star leader we all admired and respected. I feel my life was richer in her company and I could never have taken the risky steps through leadership if it wasn’t for her help, guidance and support. Our community is truly suffering the loss of a good friend. 

I’m so glad to hear that she spent her final days with family. 

I met Judy in 1970 in SF where we became housemates.  These were magical years when we all dated, married and shared fun moments on Francisco Street, weekends in Aptos and parties in Atherton.  I knew Judy had retired and moved, but didn't know she was sick.  I now know why I didn't hear back about our covid postponed reunion on Hilton Head.   Judy was a warm and very generous person.  She never made it about herself.  She was a good friend.  I am so sorry I didn't get to say "goodby".  My heartfelt sympathy to the family,   Betty Hemphill

I knew Judy from our Pine Manor alumnae group luncheons in San Francisco.  My PMC class was a few years earlier (1951) than hers.  She was a delight to know, always with a warm smile, and always so well dressed.  We will miss her very much,  and that very warm smile as well.   

Judy was such a special friend.  We shared years of SILVAR, CAR, & NAR meetings, often helping each other report on public policy issues, like taxation.  We also shared our enthusiastic support of the Warriors basketball team, texting each other throughout games.  
I'm so glad she was able to spend her last months with her family, especially her adored granddaughters.
I miss her, especially her wry humor, her perceptiveness, and her thoughtfulness.  She was always the best-dressed Realtor around, such a classy lady.

Judy was a lovely lady in so many ways. I knew her through our real estate connections and became good friends over time. My memories of her are the twinkle in her eye, her quick wit, her good knowledge and deep loyalty. Judy loved politics, law and was extremely ethical. She gave a lot of herself to the real estate industry to help others and give back. She brought joy in her interactions with others, was always SO proud of her family, and loved those granddaughters  to the moon and back! I will miss her and her her sweet smile, but hold her in my heart always. 

Judy was a friend of nearly thirty years and we shared many memories of our Real Estate careers and attendance at Real Estate meetings at Silicon Valley Assoc. and at NAR- National meetings over the years. I treasure those memories!

Judy and I were classmates at Pine Manor College in Wellesley, Mass.  It was a very small school, so we had a chance to become friends.  That friendship was rekindled when we met again at a Pine Manor alumnae luncheon in San Francisco.  Judy had become very accomplished in the real estate community.  She was always warm and friendly,  and a snappy dresser.  We had lots of good times at the alumnae events that followed, where she chipped in to help when ever she could.  She will be missed when we gather once again, but will always be remembered for her warm smile and enthusiasm.

I knew Judy from Pine Manor College.  I met her about 8 years ago and she was always so kind to me - even though she was 28 years years ahead of me, it never felt that way and we bonded over both being alumnae and our shared experiences.

My deepest condolences to her family and friends.  I will miss her.

I remember that she had pretty hair and she liked to play with us a lot. It was lots of fun.  I liked when she would fly to visit because she always gave us candy from her purse.
I really loved her.

She was very important to me and I never got to tell her because it got too late but I always loved her.  She was very fun.  I liked to play games with her.
