Judy had a heart of gold…I recall a time when I worked in the supermarket and Judy approached me to find out the ages of some children in a family because she heard they could not afford Christmas gifts…I duly did so and this wonderful woman purchased clothing and toys for them all and food for their table….I was to tell no one…(am sure she will forgive me now)…and to make sure they received them. It was not the only time I encountered Judy being generous.
Judy…I will miss that unforgettable laugh and the beautiful person that you were…you have earned your rest….RIP sweet lady
I had the pleasure of working with Jude as a nurse back in the 80’s at Grey Hospital. It was never a dull day when Jude was around – Her bug smile lit up a thousand rooms & her laughter was pure joy. Never complained – the last time I caught up with her was whilst she was living in a care unit at Dixon house in 2018. She loved her scratchy cards ? & going to The Rec Hotel for a good meal ?. It was a pleasure to know such a selfless woman – Thankyou Jude – I feel blessed to have known you . Xx
