I met Judy, my boyfriend Bobby’s mother, when I was 16. She immediately welcomed me into the family treating me like her own daughter. She gave me my first job working at Halsey Schools and later became my mother-in-law.
Judy Halsey taught me how to be a caring teacher, a mentor to our staff, a dedicated director, a parental advisor, a loving wife and a mother full of unconditional love and support.
I get a lot of the credit for our program but the credit goes to Judy; I’m emulating her. Our core school philosophies, our loving-caring environment, our curriculum, our… Everything comes from her. I’ve learned so much from her. I will always love her. Always think of her. And always feel like she is helping me every step of the way as she always has.
She often said:
Never divide your love; Always multiply it.
That is exactly what she did for her 5 boys, her daughters-in-law, her 11 grandchildren, her friends, family and thousands of preschool & elementary children and their families.
Judy passed away, fighting kidney disease, February 28, 2015 surrounded by her loving family & friends. We mourn our loss and celebrate her life & legacy.
I will continue to honor her by multiplying my love for you and your families. I can only hope I touch as many lives as she has.
