Honoring Judy Simpson: Vermont’s First Female News Director and WCAX Icon

This tribute to Judy Simpson reflects a deep sense of loss felt by the WCAX Channel 3 News team and the Vermont community.

Judy was more than just a morning anchor; she was a trailblazer in journalism, being Vermont’s first woman news director before her long, award-winning career at WCAX.

Known for her wit, humor, and dedication, she touched the lives of viewers and colleagues alike.

Her legacy includes breaking barriers in the industry, her storytelling prowess, and the warmth she brought to Vermont homes.

Even after retirement, Judy’s presence continued to be felt, and her commitment to family and the community she served never wavered.

Her passing at 64, after a battle with melanoma, leaves a void in the hearts of many who admired her.

Judy’s impact on Vermont journalism, her love for her family, and the bond she shared with her colleagues make her a cherished figure who will be remembered fondly. Rest in peace, Judy.
