Julia Penfield Reidy: June 26, 1909 - January 2, 2004
Long time customers of the Penfield Gallery will be saddened to learn of the death of Ruth's mother, Julia Penfield Reidy. Julia retired from teaching in 1975, where she had been teaching at the Corrales Elementary School. She then opened the Penfield Gallery in Albuquerque where she was a regular fixture until last Sept. 6. Julia established strong relationships with the Pueblo and Navajo artists of New Mexico, making the Penfield Gallery an excellent source of fine Native American arts.
Julia was a teacher, artist and businesswoman, a magnificent woman, one of the most ethical and honest persons ever to grace the earth. She was progressive in her views on politics and on social and environmental issues and was a lifelong Democrat, active in Democratic party politics from a young age. Julia was the consummate New Mexican, a native New Mexican who loved her state and her Lincoln County heritage.
Funeral services were held on January 7, 2004 at the Lincoln Community Church, Lincoln, NM.
