Obituary of Judith "Judy" Lawes

Judith "Judy" Lynn Lawes of Camrose, formerly of Trenton, Ontario, passed away on Friday, September 23, 2016 at the age of 72 years. Judy had an enthusiasm for life and laughter. She had a quick wit and clever sense of humor and loved to spend time with friends and family. She also had a passion for fashion and clothing design. She loved to design a plethora of things including Christmas decorations, dolls, gardens, and went on to bring her visions to life. Her love for animals was unprecedented; cats, dogs, and birds, especially her beloved Sootie, Sara and Jenny. She was a champion of the underdog and a founding member of "The 2nd Chance Trail Ride" which helps raise funds for transplant patients. Left to cherish her memory are her husband Glen; children, Gillian VanTongeren of St. Albert, Amy Lawes of Camrose, Jessica Lawes of Edmonton; grandchildren, Ashton and Gavin VanTongeren; brother John Wrightman of Chester Basin, Nova Scotia; and sister Sandra Wrightman of Gibsons, BC. Judy was predeceased by her parents, Walter and Mary. A private Family Service will be held at a later date. If family and friends so desire, memorial contributions are gratefully accepted to the "The 2nd Chance Trail Ride", SPCA, or the charity of one's choice.
