Judith Ballard
McDonald Judith Ballard,
North Oaks, MN, April 24, 2003, following a heart attack. Born Minneapolis,
MN on November 19, 1938. Preceded in death by parents Glenn F and Mildred
Thompson Ballard and her sister Laurel Ballard Hall. Judy is survived
by her husband Malcolm W and their children Malcolm Scott with wife Betty
and daughter Mackenzie, of Reston VA, Margaret Alice and Philip Brian,
both of North Oaks MN, and Phil's daughter Camile McDonald, with siblings

Also survived by sister Laurette (Mrs James) Anderson of Bremerton WA;

Anderson and Joy Richards, nephew Gary Pavek, and many cousins.
Judy excelled as a graceful figure skater and judge. During summers in
college she worked and skated in shows at Sun Valley. Her true passion
was travel - the enjoyment of sights and sounds in Europe, Asia and Africa.
She loved skiing Colorado's slopes, playing tennis in Arizona, and riding
a camel in Egypt and elephants in Thailand.
Judy had a life-long interest in education. She graduated from Washburn
High School, Wellesley College, Appalachian State University and William
Mitchell College of Law. She was chosen in 1986 as the Law, Psychiatry
and Public Policy Fellow at the University of Virginia. Judy was a dedicated
public servant in management positions with the State of Minnesota Law
Enforcement Assistance Administration, the Ramsey County Criminal Justice
Advisory Committee, Metropolitan State University, and Minneapolis Community
College. Most recently as a member of the board of People Incorporated
she worked to improve care for the mentally ill.
Above all Judy valued her friends
and family as her most precious gifts. There will be a memorial service,
Thursday, May 1st at 4 PM at St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church,
Portland at Kent in St. Paul. In lieu of flowers memorials may be made
to People Incorporated, 317 York Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55101.
