K. Judith WHALEN

GODDARD, K. Judith (nee Whalen) - Quietly on March 29, 2005, at Peterborough Regional Health Centre. She was 79. Judy was married for 50 years to the late Paul Goddard, with whom she enjoyed camping, canoeing, skiing, sailing, and cycling. They raised seven children: Suzanne Cook (David), John, Sylvia Cashmore (Jim), Eric (Anne Francis), Ted (Tracy Fadden), Mary Reeve, and Marjorie Wingrove (Felix Brown). She worked as a medical secretary for Ralph Hull for 17 years. Judy was also blessed with eleven grandchildren: Joey Lynne, Steve, Marlie, Jay, Tamara, Erin, Julie, Jessica, Matthew, Diane, and Reilly. Judy enjoyed the companionship of Don Sheppard in her final years, travelling and socializing with a wide circle of friends. She said a special goodbye to 85 friends and family members by hosting lunch at a Stoney Lake resort last November, six months after her cancer diagnosis. Dozens of loved ones also came together to care for her at home for most of her final two months. Judy was a loyal friend with a great gift for listening empathetically. She always amazed us with her energy and gentle strength. Friends will be received at the COMSTOCK FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION CENTRE, 356 Rubidge Street from 2-4 p.m. & 7-9 p.m. Thursday, March 31. Service will be held at ST. JOHN'S ANGLICAN CHURCH, 99 Brock Street on Friday, April 1 at 10:30 a.m., the Reverend Gordon H. Finney officiating. In memory of Judy, donations to St. John's Anglican Church or the charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family. 3/30/2005- ID5902635 - Peterborough Examiner
