While raising their family in Hensall, Judy and George enjoyed many summers at their trailer in Bayfield and then winters in Florida. Ten years ago, they moved from Hensall to Exeter. When visiting, you would find her with knitting needles in her hands, making countless afghans and sweaters for her family, nieces and nephews. Later in life, she donated hundreds of baby blankets and hats for newborns in Stratford and London hospitals, and her signature knitted dishcloths to the gift shop at South Huron Hospital.
Visitation will be held at Haskett Funeral Home, 456 Main Street South, EXETER on Thursday, October 30th from 9:30 – 10:30 AM, where Judy’s memorial service will be held at 11 AM. Cremation with a private family interment Baird’s Cemetery.

My sincere condolences to Rick, Cindy, Randy, Roddy , and their families. We all had such fun growing up, together. My fondest memory of Judy, was back in the early 70’s ice storm. There was no hydro. You guys had a generator and our family stayed with you guys. Judy made us all chicken soup and hot dogs. It was great. I’ve never forgotten what fun that was. Judy and George are now together again. God bless them.
Larry & Bonnie Gould
Rick, Cindy, Randy, Rod and Family; Blessed to have Judy for many years. doesn*t make it any easier to say goodbye. The thought that Mom & Dad are reunited is comforting. May happy times and fond memories replace the feeling of loss and sadness in days to come. Sending hugs to help comfort you all. Sincerely;

Patricia Irene Shaddick
Our most heartfelt sympathy to all of you at this sad time. I think back to the weddings we were invited to, the times Judy and I had coffee together at the camp in Bayfield. The meals Judy cooked for us. The Auctions! I remember back to when Rod was born , close in age to Tom . Aunt Pearl and Bea Shaddick comparing notes as to which of the boys did what soonest. I remember enjoying Brian , Randy’s oldest when Judy would keep him at the park while Randy and Caroline had some me time. I remember Cindy and the girls as little ones. Judy and I would correspond through the winter when we were all in Florida. Not only was Judy a cousin to Gerald but became a good friend to me. I feel sad also but did pray after my last visit on the phone that Judy would not suffer much longer. Judy is with George now. They earned their wings.
Barry & Amy Parsons
We have been fortunate to get to know both George and Judy at extended family celebrations with the Parker family over the years. They took a keen interest in getting to know those who were connected to their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. We enjoyed being in their company and sharing in conversation. Our sympathies to the entire Parker family.
