Obituary of Judith (Judy) Mary HYKAWAY

August 20, 1953 – Winnipeg, Manitoba

March 18, 2021 – Calgary, Alberta

Judy Hykaway, beloved wife of Wayne Hykaway, of Calgary, AB, passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 18, 2021 at the age of 67 years surrounded by her husband and daughters, while listening to her favourite music. Judy suffered from early onset dementia and battled it heroically for almost five years.

Judy was born in Winnipeg, MB, on August 20, 1953 and married Wayne in 1973.

Judy loved reading, travelling, and spending time with her family.

Judy took many vacations with her entire brood of ten including Disneyland, across Canada, and two cruises.  Judy was the most amazing wife, mother, and grandmother a family could ever ask for and her family is devastated with the loss of her.

She will be most remembered for her kind heart, wicked sense of humour, and contagious laugh.

Besides her loving husband Wayne, Judy is survived by her two daughters , Laurie Opitz (Michael Opitz) and Tanis Hykaway (Iain Smith);  and four grandchildren  Kaeden, Pierce, Brodie, and Sophia.

She is also survived by her two brothers and  sister, Gerry Hoglund, Ken Hoglund (Bonnie Smeaton), and Fran Hoglund Besko; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

 Judy was predeceased by her parents, Fran and Ron Hoglund; her sister Linda Ollmann (Joe Ollmann); and her sister-in-law Susan Hoglund.
