    Judy Rossow Memorial Fund

    Lakeside Players mourns the loss of our beloved “First Lady of the Rhode”, Judy Rossow.


    Judy was instrumental in paving the way for artists of all kinds to have a venue to shine. She meant so much to so many people and organizations downtown. Judy was involved with the Rhode for decades, saving it from demolition back in 1989 and spearheading our largest annual fundraiser "Bowls and Books". She had a passion for the arts and everyone who knew her admired her lifetime dedication of community service. In 2017, the Lakeside Board of Directors named and dedicated our beautiful lobby after Judy, "The Judy Rossow Grand Lobby." The Rhode, Pollard Gallery and downtown won't be the same without her.  Judy, we love you, we miss you,respect you, admire you and promise that we will continue creating art and making you proud.
