Kathryn Julia (aka Judy) Conway was born December 12, 1937, in Boone, Iowa. She was the fourth of eight children born to Bill and Kaye (Dunn) Conway.

After college, Judy worked as an artist for Hallmark cards in Kansas City until she joined the newly formed Peace Corps in 1961. She served as one of the original Peace Corps volunteers in Philippines for two years. In 1963, after Judy’s return to the states, she worked at the Social Development Commission in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where she remained until 1978 when she became a volunteer at The Working Boys’ Center in Quito, Ecuador, South America.
Judy returned to the U.S. and became director of Joint Action in Community Service for NYC, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands in 1985. Upon retirement, she spent months each year in Ecuador where she coordinated the short-term volunteer and summer visitors program.
Judy was a talented and tireless worker who spent her life serving the disenfranchised families who are forgotten by so many. She was recognized with numerous awards throughout her life. She was a consummate family member, always delighting in time spent with siblings and her many nieces and nephews. Faith and family were top priorities for Judy whose long life of social justice was inspired and informed by her Catholic faith. The world was enriched by this very dedicated and dynamic woman.
Judy is preceded in death by her parents, Bill & Kaye Conway, her brothers, Mickey, Duke, Larry and Tom. She is survived by her three sisters, Pat Parks, Sr. Miguel Conway, BVM and Mary Charles.
