Judith Ann Ouellet
July 5, 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.

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. ~ Linda Delaney

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 ~ (Toni) Lynne Cousineau
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 ~ Chris Eamon

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 ~ Fran Cormack
