Judy had a unique and full personality, and she was deeply loved by her family and others who came to know her. Despite being born with health issues, Judy defied the odds to live a long and fulfilling life. She was a lively conversationalist with a distinctive sense of humour. She loved arts and crafts and was prolific in her artisanal rug hooking. Above all, she was an avid sports fan and was particularly passionate about the Lethbridge Hurricanes; certain every year that they would win the Memorial Cup.

Judy was predeceased by her parents and by her brother-in-law, Leo Matteotti. She is survived by her siblings: Jack (Linda) Davies of Lethbridge, Bill (Bonnie) Davies of Calgary, Kathleen Matteotti of Lethbridge, and Corinne (Stephen) Morton of Sacramento Ca.

She is also survived by her nieces and nephews: Kathryn, Jonathan and Patrick Davies; Jordan and Taylor Davies; Christina and Garret Matteotti; Brad and Erin Morton; and six grand nieces and nephews. Judy will be missed by all who knew her and she will be fondly remembered.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff of the Chinook Regional Hospital for their compassionate care in Judy’s last days, as well as the staff of the Ability Resource Centre for their support over the years.

A private family service will be held at a later date.
