Peacefully, with family by her side, Judy Lynne Warnock passed away at the Victoria General Hospital on March 27, 2023.

 

She was predeceased by her beloved husband Wayne, and her parents Samuel and Beatrice Dunstone.

 

She will be greatly missed by her children Brad (Jane), Laurie (Mark), Jeff, Wink and Colleen (Harry), grandchildren Eric (Maria), Cara (Andrew), Kelly (Eric), Danny and Alex, great-grandchildren Ryder, Charlie and Oliver, sisters Susan (Tony) and Sally (Wayne), her niece and nephews and many cousins, extended family and friends.

 

Judy Lynne was one of a kind. She was a caring and empathetic mother, hockey mom, grandmother and friend, who always had time to listen. She loved to cook and entertain, and over the years she and Wayne hosted many dinners, parties and celebrations, filling their home with love, laughter and the smell of garlic. Her door was always open. Throughout her life she maintained a keen interest in history and politics, and encouraged lively debate. In her early years Judy Lynne was passionate about her employment with the Manitoba Committee on Wife Abuse.

 

Judy Lynne loved to play cards, and belonged to a bridge club in her building until illness and the pandemic forced a stop. The family Apples to Apples tournaments are legendary. Judy Lynne and Wayne spent many wonderful summers at the family cottage at Grand Beach. When she wasn’t there, she was looking forward to being there, watching sunsets at Rocky Beach and spending time with her beach family.

 

During the course of her long illness, the television and the telephone became her lifelines. She particularly loved movies and Turkish soap operas on Netflix. Talking on the phone with her close friends and family helped to keep her spirits up. We will all miss Judy Lynne’s sense of humour and easy laughter.

 

Cremation has taken place. At Judy Lynne’s request there will not be a funeral. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Dr. Blouw, Dr. Bashir and to the wonderful staff at the Victoria General Hospital 5 South, for their excellent and compassionate care.
