She took up residence in York where two more daughters, Caroline and Patricia, were born. Judith completed her nursing training in England and nursed in psychiatric and geriatric hospitals until her retirement in England in 1972. Judith always described herself as a “prairie woman” and spoke often about life in “The Dirty Thirties” and the Saskatchewan Ten Year Drought.

John Sharpe from Christ Church Parish Church and Foekje Schatz, her home support worker. Although stone deaf, and sometimes disoriented during her final months, Judith retained a sharp mind throughout her life and was keenly interested in world events up to the time of her death.

She is survived by sister Ruth Wilson-Bigg from French River, Prince Edward Island; daughters Rosemary Clews from Fredericton, NB, Caroline (Chris) Hammond of Dudley, England, and Patricia Atkinson of York, England; six grandchildren Zenith, Roxanne, Lydia, Amelia, Aaron, and Miriam; and four great-grandchildren Oliver, Arianne, Nathan and Jasmine.
