Judy "The Jude" Andrews (nee Sprung)

An astute observer of the human condition, she had an eye that saw the truth and a warrior heart that held space for all of us. Married with a sharp wit and incredible sense of humour, she accurately read the room, every time.

She had a vibrant mind, vast in its interests, grounded in humility, and ever curious. She understood beauty instinctively: in nature, in her surroundings, in how she carried herself. Always well put together, never ostentatious, Judy had a sense of style that spoke quietly of elegance and self-respect.

She believed in goodness, lived with integrity, and practiced her faith without fanfare. Her compassion was never performative; it was steady, reliable, and real. Judy knew how to be a good human—and in doing so, taught the rest of us a little more about how

to become one.

She leaves behind a legacy not just of love, but of presence—of showing up fully, listening deeply, and living wisely. We will miss her support, her candor, her unwavering faith, and her uncanny ability to say exactly what needed to be said, exactly when we needed to hear it. She was one of a kind and will never be replaced in the hearts of those who loved her.

Judy was a loving mother to Sheri, and a dear sister to Joan (late John). She will be fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, and close friends.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude for the staff at Hospice Wellington for their exemplary care of Judy in her final days.

Friends will be received on Sunday, June 1 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Gilbert MacIntyre Funeral Home, 252 Dublin St. N. Guelph. A service will take place in the chapel at 4:00 pm, followed by a reception in the Fellowship Lounge.

As expressions of sympathy, donations to Hospice Wellington in memory of Judy would be appreciated by the family. For those who wish to send or bring flowers, living plants for the garden or indoors so her daughter Sheri can continue her legacy would be welcome.
