Edna Judd, (Adie to friends and family), passed away on Sunday, October 5, 2025. She was 101 years old; born on January 8, 1924 to Lena and Morris Herr.
She met Elmer Judd at a party in 1945. He said that he immediately knew that she was the girl for him. Together, they lived a very full and rich life; for almost 74 years of marriage. They were very active socially; traveling the world and enjoying winters in Florida.They had a very close and loving bond.They are survived by their 2 children, Michele Mackey (Lou) and Barry Judd (Fran Steger),who were their pride and joy; as well as several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Adie was strong-willed and a loving and caring wife and mother. She was a great cook, always expressing her love through her cooking and insisting that we take food home with us. Playing tennis with friends, as well as bridge and mahjong were among her favorite activities, as well as spending time with family and friends. Our parents also attended the symphony and other cultural events on a regular basis. In addition to her roles as wife, mother, sister, and friend, Adie worked for many years as an Administrative Assistant to the Dean of the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Pittsburgh
We wish to honor the many people who helped with our mother’s care over the past six and a half years. Shawntee, Todey, Jennifer and Norma, your love and support was invaluable to her and, maybe, even more so to us.The last 10 months at Asbury Heights were difficult, but the compassionate care from many staff members on Evergreen will always be remembered. Pam, Sammy, Stacey, Diane, Thelma,TJ and so many others were amazing. Knowing you has truly been an honor.
