Judy was born in Brandon Manitoba, and lived in a variety of cities including Calgary, Alberta before she finally settled in her beloved Kelowna, British Columbia.

She had a variety of occupations including running her own bed and breakfast on the shores of the Okanagan Lake and most recently, working as a Health Care Aide at the Sutherland Hills Rest Home in Kelowna. Judy’s family would like to extend their most gracious thanks to Judy’s caregivers, including Dr. Morgan, Dr. Ellard and especially Dr. Mary Wall, who became a friend and lifeline throughout her illness, and the caring staff at Central Okanagan Hospice House who made Judy’s last weeks comfortable. At Judy’s request there will be no formal funeral service however there will be open house in Kelowna on Saturday January 8th, and further receptions will be held Calgary, Alberta, and Brandon, Manitoba, with details to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.
