Judith A. Richey, 79

Judith A. Richey of Greensburg passed away peacefully at Aspen Place Health Campus
on August 20, 2021. She was born on January 26, 1942, in Greenfield, IN, to Paul E. and
Izola M. Richey.
She graduated from Greenfield High School with the class of 1960. She received her BS
in Education in 1965 and her Master of Arts in 1971 from Ball State University. Judy’s
career as an art teacher in the Greensburg Community Schools spanned some 35 years
until her retirement in 2001.
The importance of education was a foundation of Judy’s life. She, as a teacher, took so
much pleasure in seeing her students develop and learn. She loved to travel, and she
served as a sponsor on several student trips to Europe. She was a big fan of Pirate sports
as well as the Reds, IU, and the Colts. She loved to play games and had a large collection
on Mona Lisa memorabilia. Judy was a member of the Greensburg Country Club, not for
her golfing skills, but for the friends in the Monday Night Ladies League. For several
years, she took an active role on the leadership team at Art on the Square Gallery.
Judi is survived be a brother, Jacque D. (Donna) Richey of Greensburg; a niece, Paula
(Peter) Schlax of Lewiston, ME; a nephew, Jeffrey (Beth) Richey of Milton, VT; two
grand nieces, Sarah and Norah Schlax, both of Iowa; several cousins from the Greenfield
area.
Judy has requested that there be no funeral, so she will be cremated, and a celebration of
life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested for donations
to be made in Judy’s memory to a charity of your choice. The family wants to
acknowledge and extend their appreciation for the wonderful care provided by the staffs
at Crown Point Senior Living Community and Aspen Place Health Campus. Online
