I shared an office with Judy when I first worked at Dignity Northridge Hospital.  She was such a source of wisdom and support, and she seemed to know EVERYTHING about that setting.  I am forever grateful for her. -Marty

My deepest Condolences. Judy and I worked together on the RN New Grad program and she taught me so much.  She was a wonderful educator and she was passionate on the success of our RN New Grads.  It was a pleasure to know Judy and she left a lasting impression on me.  I will surely miss her and take with me what I learned from her.

My heartiest condolences to all of you. Judy was a great educator. RIP Judy Anne. You will be deeply missed.

I had the honor of meeting and working with Judy back in the early 1980s-2000s at Lancaster Community Hospital. We taught many  BLS and ACLS classes together. She was a great educator, colleague and mentor but most of all, a dedicated and compassionate nurse. She was one of the core group of nurses that were the foundation for cardiovascular nursing in the Antelope Valley. I share today how many people she " touched " with her knowledge, care, and mentorship. From her many former colleagues including my husband Ron (Respiratory Therapist), myself and my Mom Marlene Warren, we were Blessed to have known and worked along side her. Well done!                                  

I had the pleasure of working with Judy in our Sigma Theta Tau nursing honor society. Judy was an invaluable source for keeping our chapter running smoothly.  Besides being a font of knowledge of details, Judy was warm, supportive and so genuinely kind. We will miss her and remember her in our prayers.

May all who loved and worked with Judy be surrounded by all the best memories.

She was such a kind, smart, and remarkable woman.  Judy and I shared an office for awhile at Northridge Hosp a few years ago, where she was constantly consulted by seemingly everyone.  Then again I was able to benefit from working alongside her in the Gamma Tau Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau where she demonstrated such professional grace and hard work.  

I am a better person for having known her.  Martha "Marty" Highfield

Judy and I worked together many years at Northridge hospital. She was kind, inspiring and very fair. She was the kinda of person you could help but love with all your heart because she was always there for "YOU". When she took on the task to train new nurses with the state-of-the-art program Verge we all thought it was too much, but she had a vision that shaped into the future nurses of Northridge Hospital success! Judy was my friend my colleague and most of all a mentor. She pushed me to be all I can be in the field of nursing. She will be greatly missed as a GIANT among the profession of Nursing but also as a walking angle here on earth.
love you, Judy.
