KING, Judith (nee Ortenberg). Judy Ortenberg King died Sunday evening, December 16, 2007, at St. Mary's Hospital following a short illness. She was almost ninety-three years old and had had a varied and globe-trotting life.

Judy was a multiple graduate of McGill University with a B.Sc. and M.Sc. (Physiology) at a time when few women entered sciences. She later acquired a B.Ed and went on to teach thousands of students at West Hill and Riverdale High School.
