Judy Bloomer: Teacher, wife and ‘wonderful friend’published at 17:49 British Summer Time 22 August
Some more details about Judy Bloomer, who – alongside her husband of five decades – went missing from Bayesian earlier this week.
Bloomer was educated at Homerton College, University of Cambridge, where she studied English language and literature. After that, she embarked on a career as a teacher.
She later worked as a psychotherapist for nearly 30 years, specialising in anxiety and stress.
She was also a former director of property developer Change Real Estate, a property firm in Bristol, which was founded by her husband, Jonathan Bloomer.
Sally Bailey, a former chairwoman of charity Pilot Light, wrote that Judy was a “wonderful friend” to the gynaecological cancer research charity the Eve Appeal. She was a “kind and caring person,” she added.
In a statement from the Bloomer family, they described the couple as “incredible people and an inspiration to many”.
“Our only comfort is that they are still together now.”
