Judith Hamilton

Judith Hamilton, born March 2, 1935, in Winnipeg Manitoba, has taken her place with her Lord on Friday, August 8, 2025, at 90 years old. Judy was predeceased by her beloved husband, Lorn Hamilton; as well as her loving son, Kelly Hamilton (Robyn). She is survived by her remaining 6 children: Marshall (Michele), Patrick (Karen) (Jo-Ellen /Cori), Marty (Tina), Christopher (Jackie), Korinne (Clive) and Thomas (Carla); as well as 17 Grandchildren and 8 Great Grandchildren. Judith was the 12th of 13 kids born to Joseph Madden and Ivy Madden (Dance), who were all waiting to hug her as she arrived at the pearly gates: Joseph, Brian (Dolores), Patrick, Raymond, Shelagh (Frank), Kevin (Joan), Francis (June), Michael (Jacqueline), Mary (Robert), Howard, Jerome (Dorothy) and Leo (Lillian). She also had numerous nephews and nieces she adored. Judy attended elementary and high school at St. Mary’s Academy in Winnipeg, MB. and obtained her Registered Nurse designation at St Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg. Judy grew up with 10 brothers so she was a tough tomboy but had a definite flirty, feminine flair. She played basketball, and played catcher in baseball (with no gloves in those days). She was also taught by nuns, so we all know how tough you have to be with them as well. After completing her nursing degree, she and Lorn moved and started their married life in Prince George, BC. They also lived in Winnipeg and Thunder Bay. Regina however was their home for most of their life while raising their busy, active children. She and Lorn then enjoyed 20+ years retired in Comox, BC before returning to Regina in recent years to be close to family. She was a passionate sewer and mender as part of her many tasks caring for a family of 9. In retirement she learned to quilt and became a very avid/active quilter. She was a member and served as President of the quilting association in Comox, B.C. for many years. Many of her quilts are lovingly used or displayed in many homes – of family, friends and strangers. She loved being part of projects and things that were environmentally friendly and so around covid time she joined a Canadian Boomerang Bags group that made sustainable bags. Judy was always a fun, social butterfly, not afraid to reach out and make a friend wherever she went, and this infectious loving energy was appreciated by so many that she came across. Judy was very active in Comox Aquacise and made lots of friends at the pool. Mom’s bright, fun spirit, her steadfast devoutness, her curious nature and abundant care and concern for others will guide us and keep us smiling and laughing when we think of her. We want to thank the staff at Queen City Manor and Long Lake Valley Integrated Health Facility in Imperial for their care of our Mom during her last few months. A Celebration of Life is being scheduled for the third week of September (details to come soon). In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice in her name.
