Judy Brophy Celebration of Life: Saturday, June 13 at 1:00 pm
Judy Sherman Brophy, born January 30,1948, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 9, 2026, surrounded by caregivers and family who loved her. There will be a celebration of life on Saturday, June 13 at 1:00 pm at KUUF.
She met the love of her life and was married to Jim Brophy for over 34 years. When he passed away three years ago, it truly rocked her world. They had traveled the world together, celebrating the reunions of the Flying Tigers, which Jim flew with for many years. They had a large group of friends and held Friday movie nights (The Fanatics) and celebrated Thanksgiving with 20+ people each year. Judy would do the cooking in the quiet of her own home, while Jim and his cousin Vera would go to a football game. Judy said it was an absolute pleasure to be home cooking while they went to the game!
Judy leaves behind numerous cousins who were in contact with her and provided support, as well as many beloved friends at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and her former workplaces. One of her friends said of her, “Are you aware of how many people Judy helped?” A lovely sentiment shared by someone who loved her.
She had a feisty spirit, a creative nature, a wicked sense of humor, and will be missed by those who loved her.
In lieu of flowers, Judy loved the following organizations, and we are sure she would appreciate donations to:
Kitsap Unitarian Universalist Church
The Olympic Music Festival to support local musicians
The Youth Jazz Ensemble through the Bremerton West Sound Symphony
Joseph Bednarik presents The Carborundum Blessing
10:30am, Sunday June 14, 2026 - Online and In Person
The heart of the wedding ceremony was profound: Golden rings were placed in a bowl and passed—hand to hand—to every witness present. The invitation was to bless the rings and the couple with a single word. The elderly poet and actor rose and said, so all could hear, “Carborundum.” What could this blessing possibly mean?
Joseph Bednarik is a frequent speaker at KUUF and retired co-publisher of Copper Canyon Press. He lives in Port Townsend.
