Janis Anderson Judd died 09/20/13 after a year-long battle with lung cancer.  She lived in Blackhawk, CA.  She was previously a breast cancer survivor.  After graduating from LVHS she attended the University of Utah.  She was a life-long member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority.  During her college summers she worked as a waitress in the lodge at Zion National Park, where she met her husband James Judd, who died 01/20/13.  For more than 30 years Janis was a volunteer at the Allied Arts Guild in Palo Alto where she put her former waitressing skills to good use in the effort to raise money for the Stanford Children’s Hospital.  She and her husband traveled the globe many times over.  They visited places most people have never heard of and she was deeply interested in the culture and customs of foreign people and their lands.  Never content to just observe, Janis would never hesitate to climb to the top of any jungle temple, don the traditional garb of every new culture she encountered, ride a dogsled, join a safari, track penguins across the arctic, or helicopter to the top of a mountain and hike her way down.  She was known for throwing lavish parties at her home in Blackhawk, which she filled with the artifacts she’d collected in her travels.  Janis strongly believed that her cancer was the result of her exposure to radiation from the atomic bomb tests in the Nevada desert in the early 1950s and was an advocate for others who had also been affected.  She had one daughter, one son and two grandchildren.
