We were saddened to hear of Judy's passing. We had connected with Judy in May of this year. We are cousins and were excited to share our mutual family stories and photos. We had many back and forth emails with the promise to stay in touch when we uncovered anything else exciting in the family tree! I have read the memories written about Judy and I certainly wish we had more time to know each other. Our deepest sympathies go out to Heather and Aunt Pat and all of Judy's dear friends. May you find comfort in the arms of the Lord. Rick and Sandy Herity

May you rest in peace Judy in the arms of Jesus!!

Our sincere condolences to Heather, Pat and families as well..

With much love from Ken and Klara Moore in Winnipeg

Judy spent her early years here in Winnipeg, and Klara first met

up with her while attending Gordon Bell High school.

Judy had about her a gentle and calming spirit, and she never failed to

greet us with a warm and winning smile.

In 1975, when Klara and I were married, Judy was one of our beautiful bridesmaids.

Her generous and loving spirit even then was in evidence as she paid in full for

our honeymoon room at the North Star Inn here in Winnipeg.

Eventually Judy moved to Calgary where she took great pleasure in

forever encouraging us to come to "her" Calgary to visit so she could show us

all of the wonderful sites to be seen there.

On one occasion when we took her up on that invitation, we were taken by her

for her "personal tours" of the wonders of Heritage Park and several other locations.

After a brief stay in Calgary, we, Judy, and some friends of ours

all traveled to Banff and enjoyed a most excellent visit there, as well

as a refreshing swim in the Hot Springs pool!

On August 5th this year, we had one last delightful visit here in Winnipeg with Judy who

had traveled here to see her cousin Heather White, Heather's dear mom Pat, and many

of her friends, and we were shocked and saddened to hear of Judy's passing so soon

and so suddenly after that.

We will always remember the last big smiles and hugs we had with

Judy before she left the next day to return to Calgary.

We will miss you Judy!!

Hi,

I considered Judy to be my 'sister'. I met her when I first moved to Winnipeg and we bonded instantly. I even referred to her mom as my second mom. Judy stood up with me at my wedding and it was shortly after that she moved to Alberta. We visited her on many occasions, she was always so willing to show us around. We went to the Stampede and Spruce Meadows together. Her mom and I spent 2 weeks visiting Judy when she lived in Columbia -- that was a once in a life time experience and one I cherish to this day. Judy and I were the same age and we went to Disneyland in 2005 to celebrate our 50th Birthdays along with the Park. Unfortunately we lost touch for a few years but this past July and August she came to Winnipeg for a visit and it was so good to reconnect again. I was looking forward to visiting her again when things returned back to 'normal'. We talked about going to the Stampede and Spruce Meadows again. Judy and I would kid one another about who would win between the Stampeders and the Blue Bomber or the Flames and the Jets. I will missed you 'Sister' Judy. Rest in Peace. Love Ardith,

Judy was someone who loved life and was one of the kindest people we knew. We are so sad she is gone, but are comforted in knowing that she had, in her own words, "one of the best months of her life" in August. She was thrilled to be able to travel to Winnipeg to visit her aunt and cousins, and also to reconnect with dear friends and could not stop talking about how much the trip meant to her. Family, friends and faith meant everything to Judy, and she spent the summer immersed in all: going for long walks with her friend and roommate Cher, seeing the fireworks with her friend Glen, enjoying outings and meals with her good friend Sylvia, chatting with Craig, Linda and Marylou, staying in touch with her church community online and in person and joining friends at Erica and Ryan's wedding. Judy loved animals, and we recently had her over for a visit on our patio so she could cuddle her 2 "fur-nephews" who she spoiled rotten. Judy's second family were her friends, coworkers and customers at McMahon and the Saddledome, where she spent 20 years as a much loved customer service ambassador, well known for her love of decorating her stations to suit the occasion, from Easter themes to Stampede. She had many regular customers she cared about, and they were also very fond of her. This was not unusual, as Judy loved to get to know people and managed to touch so many during her time on earth.

We took her out for her 65th birthday, and because of Covid, could not have a party or big group, but none of that mattered to Judy. She spent her time telling us every detail of her amazing Winnipeg trip, reminisced about her 55th birthday spent at Disney with good friends, her time in Colombia for work, where she of course, became fluent in Spanish and made more friends, swimming with the dolphins, Ardith taking her to watch her beloved Flames take on the Jets, her Vegas trip for her nephews wedding and how much she was looking forward to the rest of her birthday week, joining more friends to celebrate.

Judy, you were cherished and you made a difference in so many people's lives with your fierce loyalty and caring spirit. We have uploaded a photo of you as one of our favourite memories of you, smiling on your 65th birthday, decked out in birthday garb and very happy. We didn't know then that it would be the last time we saw you, but are so glad we got to spend time that day and hear how hopeful you felt, how happy you were to be seeing so many friends now that the weather was warm and about your fantastic Winnipeg trip and how blessed you felt to have seen your relatives and more good friends. We hope you are hugging Goofy and watching the Stampeders in heaven, looking down at all of us and reminding us to seize the moment and to be kind to each other.

I was Judith Lynne Dick’s roommate. She moved in and was ready for a new life. Very uncertain about the direction she was going. She worked downtown at saddledome for 20 years and enjoyed her work friends, they were like family to her as hers immediate family had passed on (her dad and mom and brother) and was looking forward to her 20-year reward postponed until lockdown was lifted.

We had a very uncertain summer this year and I told her that everything would be okay and she could hangout with me as I don’t scare of ANY virus ghosts. we got To Be good friends over the months and “cancelled culture” agenda 21 of “City of Calgary, The” duns# 208307579 aka a corporate city.

We spent a lot of time going to get groceries, went swimming, shopping, going for walks, taking the city buses all over the place, and have a drink at the local bar. She was the expert of what bus to take and how to get there. and we made plans of things we wanted to do. She was my hangout buddy. We even got our manicures done together of a new place. Something I don’t usually do but she talked me into it. I had planned to take her to Banff for her birthday before her family trip that I’m glad I talked her into going. She got herself busy to fly there and it was nice to see her smile. She came back happy, and hopeful of the future.

We had lots of plans but her sudden death changed things. Nobody seen it coming. I lost a good friend, a buddy, who I miss dearly. I do hope she is happy in heaven, visiting now with her family who she dearly missed. There birthdays were very rough days for her. We had our cry’s we shared during our tough emotional days of the past. Judy will be forever missed. Lots of good memories I share with her. She touched many peoples lives. She had a truly good heart.

one day I hope that I will see her again.

Cherie

I am sorry to hear of the death of Judy. I worked with Judy at the Saddledome and it was a pleasure to know Judy. Thoughts and prayers to her family.
