Judge Jane Brady recognized as Mother of Achievement

Lewes resident and Superior Court Judge Jane Brady was honored by the Delaware Association of American Mothers as a Mother of Achievement during an April 1 ceremony in Dover.

Brady was appointed to Delaware Superior Court in 2005. Prior to that, she was the first woman to serve as the state's attorney general, a position she held from 1995 to 2005.

From 1977 until 1990, she served as a deputy attorney general in the Delaware Department of Justice, culminating with three years of service as chief prosecutor in Sussex County.

Brady entered private practice in 1990, where she remained until her election as attorney general.

She is also the founder of KINfolk, a nonprofit agency that provides free computers and internet accounts to children facing long hospital stays, enabling them to keep in touch with family, friends and schoolwork.

The association also handed out a Mother of the Year award to Ellen Barrosse of Hockessin and a Merit Mother to Joan McGrath of Smyrna.

Brady was joined by her husband, Michael Neal, a retired Delaware State Police captain and former Troop 7 commander, and their son Trent Neal.
