Predeceased by her parents William C. Kirkland and Helen (Gifford) Kirkland, her sister Kathryn Marshall, her brother James A. Kirkland, daughter Cynthia Tomlinson and son-in-law Neil Tomlinson. Judy graduated as a nurse from the Hospital for Sick Children, School of Nursing in 1954 and worked as a nurse in a number of major Canadian cities before retiring from the University of Guelph’s Student Health Services in 1995. That same year she and Jim built a cottage at property on Fox Lake, ON. Judy was an active member of the St. James the Apostle congregation until her health began to fail in 2008. In 2009 Judy moved into the Caressant Care Long Term Care facility in Arthur before transferring to Wellington Terrace facility in Fergus on December 31, 2009 where she has resided for the past four years. Judy’s family cannot thank the staff of the Wellington Terrace enough for their care and kindness to Judy over these years. Judy’s selflessness and humour touched the lives of all who knew her. Her children and grandchildren will continue to remember Mom, Gramma, Gramma-Judy, and Jamma as a fierce inspiration and role model.
