Remembering Judy Hamilton Morse

Our sincere condolences to David Morse, family, friends, and colleagues of attorney and Oklahoma Bar Foundation Past President Judy Hamilton Morse, who passed away on Wednesday, March 29, 2023.

Judy was a respected attorney, leader, and mentor during her career. She served on the Foundation Board of Trustees for eleven years and led the Foundation as President in 2005. One of her many accomplishments during that time was her instrumental role in converting the Oklahoma IOLTA program from voluntary to mandatory for attorneys. This change dramatically increased funding available to provide legal representation to Oklahomans in need.

“Judy was a true leader and innovator for the Foundation as well as a treasured and beloved friend. Her impeccable ethics, intelligence, dedication, and spirit will never be forgotten,” said OBF Executive Director Renée DeMoss.

In her personal life, Judy was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was an inspiration to all who knew her, and will be greatly missed. For more about Judy’s life and honors, please read her beautifully written obituary: https://www.oklahoman.com/obituaries/pokl0463460
