It is with a great deal of sadness that we announce that Judy Grant, our Board Chair, passed away on June 15, 2020. Judy served on the Central City Opera Board of Directors since 2002 and assumed the Chairmanship in 2018. She was a gracious representative of the organization in all she did. She loved to show off all that Central City Opera had to offer and we were lucky to have her dedication and commitment guiding this organization. She was a dear friend who will be greatly missed. You can read Judy’s obituary below to learn more about her life and the impact she made on our community.
Judith (Judy) Wilson Grant, 76, passed away on June 15, 2020 at home in Greenwood Village, Colorado. She was born in Temple, Texas, but spent much of her youth living in various places, including The Hague, Netherlands, as a result of her father’s career in the oil business. She earned a degree in English from Sweet Briar College in Virginia and moved to New Orleans where she began her teaching career. In 1971, she married Newell McIntyre Grant of Littleton, Colorado. The couple moved to New York City where Judy worked as the assistant to the Executive Director of the Pierpont Morgan Library. After three years in New York, Judy and Newell moved to Greenwood Village. Judy taught at Kent Denver School and later at St. Anne’s Episcopal School. She dedicated many years to what she believed was a fundamental necessity of society: education. Throughout her life, she pursued a love of writing, grammar, literature, and language.
