Squirreled Away Books will be closed this week, until August 2,  as we mourn the loss of one of our own.

Artist, mother and cheerful spirit, Judy Meixner was a friend of Armada.

Throughout the years she dedicated her time and energy to our little store and her creative works to the village events it supported.

Many in the area will know her from her from her working in the store, but many more will know her from her artwork which she contributed freely to the village’s festivals and events like the original logo for Armada-geddon. 

With her retirement, and recent world events, she did not make it out to the store as often as she once did, but she did continue her creative activities and sell her paintings in the store.  People loved her style which could be both lovely and playfully whimsical.

Judy Meixner died a few days ago and was taken well before her time.

She will be missed by her family, her friends and the little store that she loved.
