It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Judy on Monday, March 9, 2015, at home after a short courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Glace Bay, she was the daughter of the late Charles ‘Darby’ and Margaret (Kelly) Myles.
She was a lifetime member of Church of the Good Shepherd, Dominion.
Judy had many occupations over the years, most recently she was employed by the Department of Child Services as a case aid worker. Before that she worked at Carefield Manner as a personal care worker. For 15 years she owned and operated BJ's Pizzeria, Glace Bay.
Judy will be fondly remembered as a very fun loving and compassionate lady who adored her family and truly treasured her grandchildren. She was affectionately known as "Aunt Doo" to her many nieces and nephews.
In her early years she played darts, bowled and loved going to dances. She spent many days on Dominion beach with her Church St. buddies. Judy enjoyed cooking supper on Sundays and spending time with her family.
She is survived by her children, Danny (Lisa), Kim (Glenn) and Jason (Dana); her grandchildren, Daniel (Stephanie), Matthew (Savannah ), Tyler, Dylan, Leah Grace, Jessica; one great-grandchild, Carly; sisters, Patsy, Mary and Dolena and her brothers, Charlie, Gary and Terry.
Judy is also survived by her special Aunt, Grace Delaney; close friends, Jennifer McNeil, Margaret Smith and Helen MacNeil. She left behind her little companion, 'Molly'.
She was predeceased by her husband, Angus ‘Blackie’ McDonald on April 25, 2014, her brother, Ernie Myles on May 2, 2014, brother-in-law, Junior McDonald; sisters-in-law, Betty McDonald and Diane Myles.
Visitation will be held on Thursday from 2-4, 7-9 p.m. in V.J. McGillivray Funeral Home, 16 Reserve St., Glace Bay. The funeral service, officiated by Rev. Myrna MacMullin is Friday, 11 a.m. in the Church of the Good Shepherd, Dominion followed by a reception in the church hall. Interment will be held at a later date in the church cemetery on Centreville Road.
As an expression of sympathy for Judy, memorial donations in her memory may be made to palliative care.

If flowers grow in heaven
Lord, then pick a bunch for me
Then place them in my mother’s arms
And tell her they’re from me
Tell her I love and miss her
And when she turns to smile
Place a kiss upon her cheek
And hold her for awhile.


Condolences
