Ancestors of Christine and Jack - Judith Perrin Tilt - - Judy, a much loved and vibrant woman, was killed in an automobile accident on May 28, 2008. 72 years young, she leaves behind three children, six grandchildren and an extraordinary passel of friends and relatives. She joins her husband, Joe, who passed away 10 years ago. A mother, world traveler, artist, business owner, and lover of folk art and textiles, she loved people, adventure, gardening, and laughter, and never missed an opportunity to dance. Judy was characterized by her special ability to engage deeply with people from all walks of life and diverse cultures and was devoted to the many friends she made over the years. In recent years she focused her artistic talent on colorful, vibrant painting, ceramics, and mosaic sculpture. She had several well-received art shows. Judy loved to travel overseas, especially delighting in the culture of Mexico, a part of her heritage. We are blessed to have known her and will miss her terribly. Donations in her name can be made to ArtStart (www.artstart.us), a group that uses art to help transform children's lives. - - Published in the San Francisco Chronicle on 31 May 2008.
