At the age of 16 she started her working life and moved to Swift Current. On November 4, 1975 she became a proud mother to Christine Dawn who was the highlite of her life. She was a single parent until she met Rod Malitear and they became a family on July 3, 1981. After many moves they settled in Saskatoon. Judy was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1989. She continued to work until her symptoms made it too difficult for her to continue. In 2007 her symptoms became more severe and she moved into Parkridge Centre.

The family expresses a special thank you to the caregivers at Southridge II, Parkridge Centre, Saskatoon who provided excellent care and became like family to Judy.
