Enosburg Falls - Judy Kay Rickert, 59, died unexpectedly on Friday August 14, 2020 at the Northwestern Medical Center in St. Albans.

Judy was born on December 13, 1960 in Burlington, the daughter of Ronald and Virginia (Jennings) Rickert. She attended schools in Richmond, and while at Camels Hump School she once held the school record in the 100-yard dash.

Judy worked in the family busy early on as a mason tender with Rickert & Sons Masonry as well as working as a tool room operator at IBM in Essex Jct. before starting work at Harrington's of Vermont in Richmond in 1992, where she remained for many years.

Wherever you look throughout her history, there is one theme that comes to the forefront more often than not - her free spirit - energy, passion, creativity, love and laughter. As her family grew she fell in love with her grandchildren, who affectionately named her "Nina." Judy was very artistic and creative, making her children and grandchildren's Halloween costumes and crafting quilts for family members. She was an avid follower of the New York Yankees and the New York Giants, and was a huge Elvis fan.
