A Tribute to Judy Harrison Barry
“Changing the Future, Two Lives at a Time”
In September 2011, Florence Crittenton Services lost a very dear friend, Judy Harrison Barry. A strong advocate for the agency and the young women and children that we serve, Judy worked tirelessly to ensure that North Carolina Maternity Home Funds were maintained in the state budget. She spearheaded efforts to enable the FCS’ Sarah’s House program to become a reality for teen mothers and their children. FCS was always very special to Judy.
As a way to honor Judy’s legacy to ‘promote health and hope for tomorrow’s children,’ FCS has established a permanent memorial to Judy called “Changing the Future, Two Lives at a Time.” This fund is an ongoing tribute to our friend and advocate. The purpose of this fund will be to provide assistance to the young women in need prior to the availability of state funds, thus ensuring healthy pregnancies and healthy babies.
Judy’s leadership, dedication and love for the mission of Florence Crittenton will be reflected in the memorial fund in her honor.
