A special memorial event was held at the Mount
on November 16, 2005 to mark the 25th anniversary of the death of
Judith A. Herndon, Class of '59. Judy had served with
distinction in both the West Virginia Hose of Representatives
and Senate. After her death she was the youngest person ever
inducted into the Wheeling Hall of Fame and the first woman to
receive the Justitia Officium Award from the West Virginia
University School of Law. A room at the Mount in Judy's memory
was dedicated in 1988 and contains an archive of her official
papers and other items from her life and distinguished service.
The Judith Herndon Scholarship to Mount de Chantal is awarded
yearly, and an annual Herndon Speech Competition promotes the
excellence in oral expression for which Judy was noted.
