Judy Williams-Modeste, affectionately known as sister Judy to many, was more than an inspiration. Through her work with Pope Paul’s Camp and then GRENCODA, Judy Williams served the Grenadian community with distinction and represented the best of Grenada. From the farmers on Chambaud Estate to the Students’ Assistance Programme to the beneficiaries of computer classes in the early days and community Day Care services for young mothers in the Gouyave community. Judy was a visionary who empowered many young boys and girls, men and women. 

For all her great accomplishments as a community leader and servant of the people, perhaps her greatest achievement through GRENCODA was the establishment of the Legal Aid and Counselling Clinic. Recognizing a void that should be filled by the state, Judy spare-headed the establishment of the Legal Aid Clinic, ensuring thousands of vulnerable Grenadians received quality legal representation.   

Judy was also the instigator of the grouping of social partners in 2015, that helped steer Grenada through the structural adjustment program and the development of the National Sustainable Development Plan 2030. For Judy, it was always Grenada first. The NDC always respected and admired her for being a fierce patriot. 

For her outstanding contribution to national development, the NDC salutes, Sister Judy Williams!

The Party Leader and members extend heartfelt condolences to Sister Judy’s husband, James, her family and friends.
