Judy Kellogg Markowsky

The accomplishments of Judy Markowsky “kind of speak for themselves,” said her ex-husband, who lives in Orono. “The Fields Pond Nature Center was her tremendous achievement. She worked long and hard on that for many years. She did all the education, introducing children to nature and trying to get people more aware of the environment.”

Judy Markowsky served as director of the Maine Audubon Society’s Fields Pond Nature Center in Holden for 12 years between 1997 and 2009 and also was a weekly birding columnist for the Bangor Daily News.

“She was a real addition to the community and she really loved this place and the state,” George Markowsky said. Bangor Daily News www.bangordailynews.com

Judy wrote a weekly column for a local paper, always enjoyable and interesting. I'm sure she sparked an interest in birds and nature just by that column.

She will be missed by many people, some of us that she never met, and others that enjoyed her company and traveled to birding sites to enjoy nature.

People like Judy add a lot to a community just by going about their daily activities and I'm sure she will be much missed by numerous people and friends
