DL Retired

Word has been received of the passing of Judith Harris Wallace, 70, of
Sarasota, FL who died February 21, 2011 after a brief illness.

She was born June I5, 1940 in Springfield, Massachusetts and lived in
Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire for many years.  There, she worked in
Legislative Affairs for the Properly Casualty Insurance Industry, and
owned the Serendipity Antiques Shop. She moved to Florida in 1984,
where she became a real estate broker working with Lyndsay P. White in
the Cape Haze area. In 2001, she moved to Sarasota, where she joined
Michael Saunders and Company.

Judy was renowned as a gourmet cook and tireless entertainer. Each
Thanksgiving, she invited upwards of forty people-none of whom had
family in the area-to her home for dinner. (Her numerous preparations
were described in the November 11, 2009 Herald Tribune.) She was also
a loyal friend to many, including her neighbors in Silver Oak, who
described her as "the soul of the street".

Survivors include her husband of thirty years, Karl S. Wallace,
retired NE/DL Pilot; a first cousin, Madelyn K. Tremblay of Lee,
Massachusetts; a second cousin, Linda Kay of Richmond, Massachusetts;
and many treasured friends.

A memorial service will be held 10:30am Friday at Palms-Robarts
Funeral Home, 170 Honore Avenue, Sarasota. Memorial donations may be
made to a charity of individual choice. Arrangements under the
direction of Palms-Robarts Funeral Home & Memorial Park, Sarasota,
FL.
