Judy immigrated to Canada with her mother to join her father Paul in July 1937. She lived in Monarch, AB where she went to school, later moving to Lethbridge and then to Calgary. Judy was predeceased by her husband Peter William (January 1979) and her parents Judith and Paul. Judy was an active member of First Lutheran Church and worked for Dome Petroleum where she formed many lifelong friendships.
She leaves behind two children Peter (Judy) of Calgary, AB and Janet (Bob) Kerr of Procter, B.C.; two grandchildren Nathan (Lisa) and Andrew (Chantel); four great-grandchildren Nolan, Selina, Devin and Breanna; two step-grandchildren Chris (Dolina), Jason (fiancé Gurpreet); and three step-grandchildren Skylar, Kalyse and Kindry. Judy is also survived by her brother Ed (Bagyinka) of Blackie, AB and sister-in-law Dorothy (Bill) Coultry and several nieces and nephews.
A service will be held for Judy in the spring of 2019.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Judy’s memory may be made directly to the Calgary Humane Society, (4455 110 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2C 2T7).
