Ingram, Judith Eastburn of Plymouth, MA passed away Saturday, September 30, 2017 at Tufts Medical Center in Boston. Preceded by her husband of thirty-nine years Henry S. Ingram, Judy is survived by her children John Ingram and his wife Martha of Pembroke, MA, Deborah Dimmit and her husband Peter of Linneus, ME and Elizabeth Bishop and her husband Alan C. Bishop Jr. of Hopedale, MA, her grandchildren Seth, Nathan and Tara Ingram, Andrew and Zachary Dimmit, and Alan and Valerie Bishop. She is also survived by her only sister, Jo Anne Cyprus and her husband Robert of Pleasant View, TN, nephews Robert Cyprus and his wife Kristin of Magnolia, TX, Thomas Cyprus and wife his Tawni of Albuquerque, NM and a niece Elizabeth Anderson and her husband Michael of Nashville, TN.

The daughter of Thomas B. and Anne M. Eastburn, Judy was born in Orange, NJ on April 8, 1941. She grew up in Wellesley Hills, MA and attended high school in Birmingham, MI. Judy attended Penn State University where she was a member of Kappa Delta sorority and upon graduation she began to work in her chosen field of marketing and public relations, first in LaPeer, MI and then at John Hancock in Boston.

After she and Hank moved to Plymouth in 1976 Judy brought her talents to the Plimouth Plantation. She was an integral part of the program shift to a modern museum structure for many years. Later she worked with the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra, a job which gave her a lot of pleasure. Hank and Judy were members of the Plymouth Yacht Club and for many years could be found aboard “Intuition,” dredging new channels in Plymouth Harbor and points south.

After her retirement Judy found the time to explore some of her personal interests. She became an active force in the Plymouth Garden Club, recently serving as the President and loved puttering in her own garden. She worked tirelessly as a warden in many elections establishing the rule of “law and order.” She was devoted to the success of the South Shore Community Action Council’s Food Warehouse where she was a faithful volunteer for many years. Most of all she loved the feathered visitors she enticed into her back yard. In fact, sitting at the dining room table working on a crossword puzzle with one eye on the antics of the animal kingdom was her favorite pastime.

For a tiny lady she had incredible spunk. Although she battled increasingly daunting health challenges over the last few years, she never lost the sparkle in her eyes or the spirit in her heart.

A celebration of Judy’s life will be held at the Plimouth Plantation 137 Warren Ave. Plymouth, MA in the Gainsborough Hall located in the Harry Hornblower II Visitors Center on Saturday October 21, 2017 from 5:00-8:00 PM
