Judy Anne "Beppe" De Vries, 70, of Little Rock, went to heaven on September 23, 2014.
She was born and raised in Vermont by her parents Margaret and Harold Richardson. After high school she bravely answered John F. Kennedy’s call to do more for her country. She joined the Peace Corps serving in Tanzania and Libya. It marked a turning point in her life.
