Mary Ruth Judd, 88, formerly of Farnes Road, Canton, died on September 10, 2007 at her daughters home in Watertown. The funeral will be September 15, 2007 at 11:00 AM, at the Crary Mills Presbyterian Church.
Mary Ruth (Beaman) Judd died on September 10, 2007 in the loving company of her daughter, Marilyn Gibson, with whom she had made her home since April. Born September 13, 1918 in Malone, Mary Ruth was the eldest child of Daniel Walker Beaman and Beatrice Reynolds Beaman.
She was predeceased by her brothers Paul, Frank, and Donald Beaman.
Mrs. Judd was the widow of Herbert F. Judd of Crary Mills, New York, whom she married October 15, 1983 and who died May 5, 2006. She was the former wife of Carl S. Marney and lived many years in Ogdensburg.
Mary Ruth is survived by her daughters, Marilyn Gibson of Watertown and Anita Harris and husband Thomas of Ballston Spa, her beloved grandsons, Michael George Gibson and his wife Michelle of Brewerton, and Timothy Ross Harris and his fiancée Stacey of Saratoga Springs, her sister, Lucile Beaman McGarrah of Media, PA, her sisters-in-law, Elizabeth Beaman, widow of Frank, and Sarah (Nancy) Beaman, widow of Donald. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews, by Herb’s family in Crary Mills, and by her faithful friends who brought her joy and with whom she shared many, many laughs.
Mary Ruth graduated from Ogdensburg Free Academy in 1935 and from Canton ATI (SUNY) in 1938 with a degree in Home Economics. She was a member of the Alphi Chi Omicron sorority. She remained in close contact with her classmates from both schools and was named Distinguished Alumna at SUNY Canton in 1986. Mary Ruth provided the Alumni Office with updates on SUNY alumni until her health declined.
Genealogical research and local history were passions she shared with her husband, Herb, and they both enjoyed a long-time relationship with the St. Lawrence County Historical Association where they were avid volunteers and to which they were pleased to bequeath their collection of historical documents and artifacts Mary Ruth’s research formed the basis for a number of articles in the Quarterly, and she liked nothing more than unraveling a truly knotty historical puzzle. Herb and Mary Ruth were honored by the SLCHA with life memberships and the dedication of the Herbert F. and Mary Ruth Judd Gallery at the Silas Wright House in 2002 after more than 40 years of service. Staff and volunteers of SLCHA became her extended family.
Mary Ruth loved sewing and gardening, going to auctions, finding treasures, especially antique sewing machines, to restore, her precious dogs and cats, talking with school children about lifestyles in days gone by, and keeping up a lively correspondence with old and new friends and fellow researchers.
As a mom in Ogdensburg, Mary Ruth was active in PTA, led a Brownie troop, worked and volunteered at the AB Hepburn Hospital and with the Red Cross. As matriarch of the Beaman family, she was the glue which united us. When one member sneezed in Pennsylvania, “Bless you’s” rained in from family across the country. Family was her delight and her comfort.
Mary Ruth was an active member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Magna Charta Dames. Her research revealed that she descended from Susanna Martin, one of the Salem “witches,” a distinction she enjoyed thoroughly. She was a member of the CT Genealogical Society, the St. Lawrence Valley Genealogical Society, Franklin County History and Museum Society, and Daughters of Union Veterans. She was a communicant of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Ogdensburg.
Friends and family are invited to call from 10-11 am on Saturday, September 15 at the Crary Mills Presbyterian Church. A memorial service will follow at 11:00. At her request, friends are invited to share funny stories and memories of Mary Ruth at the service or at the luncheon to be held immediately following at the Church. Burial will be in the Crary Mills Cemetery.
The family gratefully acknowledges the tender care of Dr. Sandra McCloy and both Hospice and Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley and Hospice of Jefferson County, and asks that memorials be directed to either of those organizations or to the St. Lawrence County Historical Association.
