Judith Ann Ouellet
July 5th, 2020
Judy Ouellet (nee Connick) passed away on Sunday, July 5, 2020 just shy of her 77th birthday. Born and raised in Calgary, Judy was a wonderful wife, mother and friend where ever she lived. She is survived by the love of her life, Bill; her children, Shelley and Sean; her daughter-in-law, Stefanie; and her beloved grandchildren, Jasper and Lili; as well as the dear Chittick and Loftus families. She was a gracious host, fabulous cook and an adopted mother to many. She was a passionate supporter of the arts and education and known to be occasionally silly.
The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre and in lieu of flowers, ask that a donation be made to the Tom Baker Cancer Centre in her name, 1331 – 29 Street NW, Calgary, AB T2N 4N2. As per Judy’s wishes there will be no service.

Dear Shell, Bill and Sean, I’m sending my deepest condolences to you and your family. Shelley, your mom and dad were such gracious hosts the first time you brought me to meet them. I will never forget that. You have been such a gracious, kind and loving friend to me. I think it we all know where that ethos came from. It came from your amazing mom and dad. Love you guys—Ouellet family Sending warm wishes, Chris Eamon
Bill and family- There are few words to add to all the comments here since they sum up Judy’s wonderful character. She loved you with every fibre of her being and that was clear to all who knew her, including those who only met her once. Like you when speaking about her, she glowed when speaking of you. I am sending you love and strength at this very sad time my friend. Please keep the happy memories close to your heart and trust you have another angel watching over you and yours. Hugs
I'm sooo sorry to read this, very sad....she will be missed❤ wishing you strenght Bill
Bill - so very sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. The few times I met her she was so lovely, warm, smiling and open. My thoughts to you and your family at this difficult time. Memories are never enough, but may they give some comfort.
Oh Bill, my heart and soul are pouring out love and comfort to you and the rest of the family. I can only imagine what it's like to lose a life-partner/soul-mate, and even with that limitation the ache within is deep. Grieve well, Bill; tell the stories, share the memories, cry and laugh, mourn and celebrate with family and friends. Let your dear friends help and be present with you.
All of my love to the Ouellet family, Bill, Sean and Shelley. Judy was always so welcoming and generous. Always smiling, Judy made us obnoxious kids feel like we were one of her own. She will be missed dearly.
Oh Bill! I am so very sorry. I know that Judy was the love of your life and she was so smart, gracious and funny. Please know that I have lovely memories of her and that you are very loved. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you. Big hugs!
Bill, Sean, Shelley , Stefanie, Jasper and Lili Judy was a special soul and I feel lucky to have known her for the last 35 years. I loved her laugh and her wacky sense of humour. I loved her Teddy Bear room and our time shopping and visiting . She was welcoming to everyone and could whip up a meal at a moment's notice and it would be delicious. Bill , you were the love of her life and she yours, I hope that will comfort you a little. I will cherish my memories of her.
Dear family, I am so sorry for your loss of your Supportive Mom, wife, grandmom and art supporter always there as I remember I send you my deepest condolences and hugs.
Bill and Family: I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I have fond memories of Central Alberta Theatre cast parties at my parents’ (Alan and Christine) house. Bill and Judy were always the life of the party. Sending you love from the Johnson family.
Bill, our condolences to you and your family at this sad time. We thought highly of Judy, her kindness, graciousness and her sense of humour. Our love to you at this most difficult time, Bill.

to all of Judy's family I want to send my sincerest condolences. Knowing Judy through Bill and theatre I met a compassionate, loving woman who supported not just her family and her friends, but the Theatre Community. My love to you and only good memories. Gail
Judy was a wonderful host! I met her through her daughter, Shelley, and enjoyed many lovely themed appetizers she created for Stride Gallery exhibition openings. She had a most warm and welcoming personality. I will always remember her lovely smile. My heartfelt sympathies to Shelley and family.

Bill, we are so sorry we have lost Judy. We remember BComm parties back in the day, when we’d all laugh till our sides ached. Wish we could be there to give you a hug, but distance & covid prevent that. Praying for strength for you all.
Oh, such sad news and it came so quickly. Such wonderful memories of our years at village on the green end of our friendship. My love goes out to you Bill, and of course all the family. Much much love, Sandyrq

I am so sorry. Sending our sincere sympathy to you Bill and your family. May your memories comfort you at this time. Kaye and Rick Madsen
Dear Bill (and children and grandchildren), I am so very sad to hear that Judy has passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with you. We have so many decades of "history" going all the way back to our high school days at Crescent Heights. I have so many great memories and I hope that you will find great comfort in the beautiful and wonderful memories that you and your family treasure. I am thankful that I had a good visit with Judy at the Christmas gathering at Eshoms'. May you have the strength you need during this time of sadness and grief. Love and blessings to you all, Fran Cormack
