On July 4, 2017, Judith M. (Nicholson) Bartholomew went to be with the The Lord with her family by her side.
She was born on April 17, 1943 in Uniontown, PA to Lewis and Lucretia (Corder) Nicholson. Judy graduated from Albert Gallatin High School and Indiana University of Pennsylvania, where she earned her Elementary teaching degree.
Judith married Thomas Bartholomew in 1965 and they settled in Greenville, PA where they still reside. She taught for 3 years at Fredonia Elementary School and 4 years at Penn Middle School, after which she quit to raise a family. She enjoyed gardening, sewing, home decoration, upholstery and spending time with her family. She also enjoyed the time her husband spent hunting and fishing, as it gave her the time to go shopping.
She was a member of Perry Baptist Church, Hadley, PA. She was preceded in death by her parents and her in-laws.
Left to cherish her memory are her husband Tom of 52 years, her daughter Holly Bartholomew, daughter Amy Johnson (Jarrett), grandson, Chase Bartholomew, granddaughter Harper Johnson, brother Nick Nicholson (Kathy), sister Sue Nicholson, brothers-in-law Ron Bartholomew (Joan) and Dick Bartholomew (Ronda) and many nieces and nephews.

Mr. B, I was sorry to hear of the loss of Mrs. Bartholomew. I had her as a sixth grade teacher at Penn Middle and had you at GHS too, way back in the early ’70’s. You are both remembered fondly. Sincerest sympathy, Bill Pressler, Kent, Ohio, GHS Class of 1976
Tom, we are so sorry to hear about Judy. She was such a sweet lady. We have many fond memories of church activities, fish fries, chats and the compassionate sweet spirit of Judy. We are blessed to know she is happy and peaceful in the arms of our Savior. We will one day see her again. Praise the Lord! You are in our thoughts and prayers for comfort and peace.
With deepest sympathy and love,
Ken and Patty Kashner
May the family find comfort in loving memories, and in knowing that God is “close to those that are broken at heart; and he saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18) Our loving Creator, Jehovah God, has promised to soon “swallow up death forever…and wipe the tears from all faces” (Isaiah 25:8). With deepest sympathy.
Dear Mr. Bartholomew,
I believe that you were newly wed when I was your math student for three consecutive years a long time ago, yet not so long ago. Please accept my condolences as you move through the coming days and weeks, bolstered by the community that surrounds you and your family. May you count the good times and have multiples of wonderful memories to sustain you during this time.
