Their 46 year marriage was filled with love, fond memories and travel. Judy was a wonderful and loving wife and mother. She went above and beyond to take care of the needs of her family. One of her greatest joys was when she found out that she was going to be a grandmother (a.k.a Baba) and she loved her grandchildren dearly. She will be remembered for her kind warm-hearted spirit, her infectious smile and great sense of humour. Though faced with many medical challenges, Judy battled every obstacle with warrior-strength and an optimistic outlook. She had an immense impact on the lives of all who knew her. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the staff of the 5th floor at Deer Lodge Centre. Their compassion and support throughout the last six and a half years is truly appreciated and will never be forgotten. As per her wishes, no formal service will be held.
