Judy

(Perry)

Moses

Obituary

Judy Moses, 70, of Mystic, CT passed away on Saturday, (August 7, 2010). Judy was born in Hartford in 1939, the loving daughter of Sydney and Jean (Vinick) Perry. Judy leaves her husband of 48 years, Vic; her son Michael, and daughter, Carrie. Her granddaughters Sarah, Jennie, and Rebekah; all of whom loved her dearly. She also leaves a brother, George and his wife Debbie, of Newton, MA. Judy was a beautiful and vibrant woman, touching all who had the privilege of knowing her. As a child growing up in West Hartford, she attended local public schools, graduating from Hall High with the class of 1957. Judy wore her engaging smile, sweet disposition, and generous personality throughout her life. She was a natural athlete who carried her joy of life from the tennis courts at Elizabeth Park, to the ski slopes of Vermont, to the stage at the Bushnell, and to her life at the shore. As a child she loved to swim and spent every summer at Beach Park in Clinton. Later in life, she treasured nearly 40 years of “golden moments” at the beach in Old Lyme with Vic, Michael, Carrie, Sarah, Jennie, and Rebekah. Upon graduating from Lesley College in Boston in 1961, Judy began her teaching career in Lexington, MA. After her marriage to Vic in 1962, she continued her teaching career in the communities of Milton, MA, East Hartford, CT, and at Temple Beth Shalom, where she and her family enjoyed many years of membership. During her years in the classroom she developed lifelong relationships with her peers and with the children she so lovingly taught. Judy was active in every community where she lived, serving with the Temple Sisterhood and as a life member of Hadassah. Most recently, she was a volunteer with the Friends of the Mystic & Noank Library, a role enjoyed with the same passion and love she carried through in every facet of her life.While work and volunteerism were important to Judy, the most singular and selfless focus of her entire adult life was being a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, and bubbe to her beloved girls; Sarah, Jennie, and Rebekah. Her legacy, the love she instilled in all of us, will live on forever. Funeral services will be held at the Beth El Cemetery, 27 Jackson Street, Avon, CT on Monday, August 9 at 1 p.m. The family will gather immediately after services at 16 Greenhurst Drive, West Hartford, CT. Donations in Judy’s memory can be made to the Mystic & Noank Library, 40 Library Street, Mystic, CT 06355 or to a charity of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to Weinstein Mortuary, Hartford, CT.

Vic --

I went through Hebrew school with Judy and our parents were very good friends when we were growing up along with the Chaiklins and Beirponches. Also Sid and my Mother dated in the 1990's after Mom's second husband Si Abrams died.

Our deepest condolences to you and your family. Thoughts are with you.

Vic and family--my relationship to Judy goes to the generation before us--the WoHeLo girls--Tillie, Sally, Jean, Ann. We grew up together, Vic; and it was with joy of the whole group to see two children of WoHeLo in marriage. Our hearts are with you in sorrow; may your wonderful memories of Judy give you strength.

Dear Carrie, the news of your mother's illness and passing came as a shock to me. She was so charming and full of life that no one who knew her will ever forget her. There is not much one can say at a time like this, but I want you to know how much I feel for you and your family. Tatyana

There are few individuals on this earth who have had such an incredibly positive impact on our lives as did Judy. My heartfelt condolences go to Vic, Mike, Carrie and to all of Judy's immediate and extended family regarding Judy's untimely passing; may she rest in peace.

Carrie, I'll help you out with a few more descriptive adjectives of your Mom: warm, happy, bubbly, sweet, loving, affectionate, wonderful, genuinely nice, open and accepting. Your Mom defined all of these attributes - and then some.

For years (and regardless of my non-religious "free agency"), your Mom always made me feel like a true family member, and I treasure the fond memories of our times at 44 Cone Street, Manchester - the parties, family gatherings, pre-Manchester Road Race pasta-fests, post-Manchester Road Race get-togethers, etc. I have my 50th Manchester Road Race t-shirt and 50th Manchester Road Race sweatshirt prominently displayed in the sports memorabilia / work-out area of my basement, which will now hold an even more special meaning.

On a somewhat related side-note, it's amazing how our lives, and sometimes afterlives, cross paths. I had been unaware that Vic and Judy had become Mystic residents and that Judy volunteered at the Mystic & Noank Library. My brother, Rich, owned and operated Mystic Rigging, in Noank, until his (also) untimely passing (49 years young) a few years back (as one of a few ongoing tributes to Rich's memory, I installed his hand-carved Mystic Rigging sign in my shed, located where I regularly see it upon entering). Knowing Judy, she's probably already met Rich and given him one of her classic, back-cracking hugs!

As similarly said to my family upon my brother Rich's passing, we should view Judy's passing for what it clearly is: very, very sad and much too young. But with respect to Judy's memory and her always cheerful disposition, we should cherish the fact that we were lucky enough to have known her and to have shared her presence for so long. I'm sure that Judy would much prefer that we soon move on from our sadness and continue with an ongoing celebration of her life. What better way to remember Judy and to honor her memory?

As such, I'll leave you with the following fond memory of Judy:

As some may recall, we celebrated Judy's November 27 birthday upon completion of the Manchester Road Race, held annually on Thanksgiving Day. One particular year (many moons ago), a call was placed to the local Carvel Ice Cream shop - apparently owned and operated by non-English speaking, Chinese immigrants - for an ice cream cake to celebrate Judy's birthday.

To also honor the Thanksgiving holiday and to acknowledge the Manchester Road Race participants in attendance, it was requested that the ice cream cake read:

Happy Birthday Judy

and include underneath a turkey with sneakers.

Upon opening the box to cut Judy's cake, the inscription read:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDY
TURKEY WITH SNEAKERS

How do I begin to describe my beautiful; loving; caring and selfless Mom? I am so thankful to have had such an incredible role model in my life. My Mom and I talked on the phone every day. We never missed a day. At the end of every conversation; we would say to each other,"I do not know what I would do without you". While my Mom is not here for me to physically see or touch; I know I will never be without her and she is by my side and in my heart forever. I love you Mom. Be safe.

With deepest sympathy to Vic and her family, the too-soon passing of a friend remembered from the past is sadly noted. Not only remembering her from the beach, Judy was a year ahead of me in school. I followed her to Lesley College where she continued to be a mentor and friend and I continued to kept track of her over the years until the move to Mystic. My hearts go out to all of you in the days ahead. May you find comfort in remembering happier days.
