with her children at her side. Born in Lower Onslow, she was
a daughter of the late Percy and Marion (Wood) Gill. Judy

own. She retired from Home Hardware Distribution Centre in Debert to
care for her husband Doug after his stroke. They both became active
with the Colchester Stroke Club and after his passing she
continued volunteering with them until she recently retired as club
president. Her special grandson, Marcus would attend as many stroke
club events as he could with his Nanny to have fun with all the kind
people there. She also was a member and volunteered with the Royal
Canadian Legion Branch No. 106, Debert.

Debert; and will be greatly missed by her grandchildren, Aaron, Brett,
