CEO Mike Zervos said: On behalf of the Committee of Management, staff, and volunteers at B’nai B’rith Courage to Care Victoria, we express our deepest sorrow at this heartbreaking loss. Judy was not only our Chair but also the inaugural Chair of our national entity, Courage to Care Australia Ltd, a role she accepted with humility and dedication in late 2023.

Judy joined Courage to Care as a volunteer in March 2019 and immediately offered her expertise in fundraising development. Her passion was evident from day one, and it wasn’t long before she became an integral part of our Marketing and Fundraising team. She joined the Committee of Management at our 2019 AGM, was elected Vice Chair in 2020, and then Chair in 2022, succeeding Dr Tony Weldon, who had served in the role for 17 years.

Judy helped guide our organisation through some of its most challenging and transformative years, including COVID-19, and the subsequent period during which our impact tripled in size. She was instrumental in helping us navigate difficult times following October 7, always leading with calm, compassion, and unwavering commitment.

What many may not know—because Judy was so modest—is just how deeply she cared. She never sought the spotlight, always putting Courage to Care first. At every meeting, she showed up fully. Bringing insight, honest feedback, and a quiet but constant encouragement.

Judy made our organisation better. She made our society better—through growing our impact in schools and communities across Australia. And, by her example, she made us better people.

Judy was admired and respected by all who had the privilege of working alongside her, and we extend our sympathy to her husband Leslie, her children Jeremy and Lydia, and her grandchildren, whom she adored.

Her loss is hard to comprehend. But as we try to make sense of it, we hold tight to the saying: ‘May her memory be a blessing’

Judy’s memory is a blessing—one that will live on through every Upstander we inspire, every young person we reach, and every moment we strive to do good in the world.”
