Judith A. Trafford
Judith A. Trafford of Hampton Bays died on January 7 at Good Shepherd Hospice after a valiant battle with cancer. She was 65.
Ms. Trafford worked at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club for 37 years, most recently as its comptroller.
Ms. Trafford and her husband, Lester, who survives her, had been married for 28 years and lead very active lives. They loved to travel and snorkel as often as they could.
