Judy was a life-long learner and was a well-respected educator for 37 years on the Northside. She was an active member of the NSTU both locally and provincially for her entire career. During her time as principal at Boularderie School and after, she loved her “Boularderie Belles” and the times they had together. Judy was very family oriented and was our event organizer. She loved and decorated for every season and holiday with Christmas being her favourite.
She will be dearly missed by all of us especially her rock, Calvin.
The family would like to thank Dr. Paul Hickey for his extra-special care for Judy.
