Judith Gwendolyn Dempsey

Born in Grande Prairie AB, she passed away on December 18th in Merritt BC.

Judy was predeceased by both of her parents, Bill and Phyllis Johnson. She is survived by her husband of 33 years, John, as well as her brothers Allan (Sue) and Arnold (Vicki), and her niece Kyla (children: Taylor, Isabella and Lee) all of Grande Prairie, AB.

Raised on the family farm in Alberta, Judy began her employment at the Grande Prairie RCMP office in Communications in 1972.

She then transferred to Telecommunications in Peace River from 1976 – 1978, deciding then to enter into the Academy for RCMP training. Over her 25+ years of long service she was stationed in Terrace, Kitimat (with relief work in Atlin Lake), Merritt, Dawson Creek and back to Merritt again, where she retired in 2004.

Judy also worked for the elementary school lunch program and at Planet Fitness, and was known for her love of gardening, including planting flowers at Claybanks RV Park for Rose and Jack. She loved long drives around the province and to the old farm.

Judy lost her courageous battle after a 2 year illness but will always live on in our memories.

At her request, there will be no formal service.
