I said goodbye to a good friend the other day, when I visited with former Webster Village Trustee Jude Lancy, who was just two days away from a move to Oregon to be closer to her grandchildren.
So our visit was not so much a “goodbye” as it was a “so long,” and I do indeed hope to visit her in her new home when my husband and I take a trip to the Pacific Northwest some day soon. But I believe I speak for the entire Village when I say we will miss her dynamic spirit.
Jude was honored with a proclamation at the June 26 Village Board meeting, which summed up many of her achievements as a lifelong Webster resident and long-time Village Trustee. The most recent View From Main Street Village newsletter had an article which reiterated many of them:
Village Trustee Jude Lancy has faithfully served the Village of Webster for more than two decades, beginning with her appointment to the Historic Preservation Commission and continuing through her tenure as a valued member of the Village Board of Trustees from 2010 to present.
Jude has been a dedicated member and advocate of the Historic Preservation Commission, serving as the Village Board Liaison, helping to ensure the Village remains the special and beloved place it is today. She championed preserving the charm and character of the community for generations to come, while also embracing thoughtful progress and community-centered improvements that keep the hometown feeling we all know and love.
Jude’s lifelong connection to Webster — having been born on Baker Street, growing up in West Webster, and graduating from Webster High School in 1959 — reflects the deep roots and enduring love she holds for this special community.
Jude has always gone above and beyond to bring vibrancy to the life of the Village—volunteering for numerous community organizations including the Boy Scouts, the PTSA and neighborhood associations, and lending a hand at Village events.
Her vibrant presence, warm heart, and ever-ready smile have made her a beloved fixture in the Village of Webster—whether she’s leading with purpose or simply enjoying the company of neighbors in one of the many local businesses she frequents.
Hope to see you soon, Jude!
