Judith "Judy" Anne MacDonald Young

Judith "Judy" Anne MacDonald Young loved life, family, friends, children, dogs, the colour purple, telling captivating stories, and much else besides. After a long struggle with Alzheimer's disease, at the age of 81, Judy passed away on June 26, 2021, in Saint Margaret's Residential Centre in Westmount, a suburb of Montreal, where she was cared for with much compassion by the staff and a bevy of caregivers.

Survived by her loving husband, Lorne Walsh, and his siblings, Bryan (Ann), Diane and Kathy, his   children, David (Hu Bin), Stephen (Wing San), Bryan (Miri); and his seven grandchildren; as well as Ron's widow Irene, and Don's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren who adored her as Gi Gi. Blessed with many cousins and many friends, including Gladys (Gary) of Chatham; Sharon of St. John's; David of Thornhill; Brien of Stratford; Channie of Halifax; Nonie of Cambridge; and Cathy of Hammonds Plains, who were among the many to comfort her during her illness. Lorne wishes to thank all Judy's caregivers, especially Doris, Dorothy, Pam, Camille and Fina, who lovingly helped Judy to smile and sing and laugh despite her hardships.
