Lights Dim On One Of Sherborn's Longest Running Acts.

Judy Davis, known for her tireless efforts in town as actor, writer, producer and director for both The Sherborn Players and Dover Foundation, died peacefully on August 5th after a brief illness. She was 89.

Born and raised in Coraopolis Pa, she went on to earn her Masters in music from Muskingum University in 1956.  A gifted soprano, she sang with the Civic Light Opera of Pittsburgh and was a star or featured performer in several professional productions such as The Boyfriend, Little Mary Sunshine, and the touring companies of Kismet and The King and I. She also spent many years as a member of both the SAG and AFTRA.

Married to Earl Davis in August of 1960, in 1968 they moved to Sherborn with their three children. Over the next 54 years she helped build community in the town by her involvement in theater, The Welcome Wagon, League of Women Voters, PTA, Sherborn Yacht Club, The Music Makers, the Good As New Shop, and as choir director of the Sherborn Unitarian Universalist Area Church. A loving mother, she never missed a game, a play or exhibition and was always thoughtful and encouraging.

She leaves her husband Earl and her three children: John and his wife Katherine Journeay, Leah and her partner Laura Barbeau, Jeff and his wife Lauren Fisher Davis.

A Celebration Of Life will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Area Church, 11 Washington St. Sherborn, MA on September 7 at 1:00pm.
