It is with great sadness we announce that Judy passed away peacefully on August 15, 2017 in Southlake Regional Health Centre due to complications arising from leukemia. Gordon Morrison, her husband of 31 years, was at her side. Predeceased by her father, John, and by her brothers John and Ron (Marlene), Judy is survived by her mother, Annie; her beloved niece, Donna; her sister; cousins; nephews; grand-nieces and grand-nephews. Born in Ottawa, Judy moved to Toronto and worked at ManuLife for 27 years. Judy will be remembered for her gentleness, and for her love of art, delicious recipes, travel, and the outdoors. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her. Special thanks to the staff of Southlake Regional Health Centre and Princess Margaret Hospital for their care. To honour Judy's wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at Thompson Funeral Home, Aurora, on Saturday, August 26, 2017, from 1 PM to 3 PM.

“Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.
Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.
Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.”
~ Irish blessing
