Davis, Judith
Jun 14, 2010

Judith died of cancer and a broken heart, the latter caused by witnessing the continued destruction of the ecology of the planet through human exploitation, economic greed and war. The loss of wildlife habitat and the cruel slaughter of innocent animals caused her the greatest grief. The greatest joy came from the animals she shared her life with and from friends who shared her outrage and concern. A social activist and environmentalist all her life, Judith organized for social change. She was also an active unionist who dreamed of equality for all regardless of age, class, abilities, race, or sexual orientation. She would like to thank everyone who has been so kind to her over the years.
A special thanks to June Daley and Caroline Leone and her sister Jean for their care and support.
There will be no visitations or funeral service by her request. Interment has taken place in her family lot at Auburn Cemetery, Westville
