Catherine Judith Mason, age 69, formerly of Lower Sackville,N.S., passed away peacefully at Glen Haven Manor after a brief struggle with cancer.
Born in New Glasgow to parents Beatrice(Falconer) and the late Norbert Mason.
Judy graduated with her Bachelor of Education from Mount St Vincent University having taught elementary school in the greater Halifax area.
She enjoyed music, painting, photography, traveling and singing with her sisters. She also tutored for a short time. In her youth, Judy participated in the New Glasgow Kiwanis Music festivals in singing
and piano classes.

She was a hero to her sister Estelle to whom she donated one of her kidneys in 1979. This operation brought them even closer together, as they shared the same birthday one year apart.
