We Remember

SCOBIE, JUDITH ISOBEL (nee Gardner)
—
On February 12, 2014 Judy passed away peacefully with her husband Gary by her side after a year long battle with brain cancer. Judy and Gary enjoyed 24 years together and made many happy memories traveling and retiring to Mesa, Arizona. Some of Judy’s happiest times were during her retirement as she made so many wonderful friends and truly relaxed and enjoyed life. Judy was loved by many and will be greatly missed by her husband, Gary, her children, Stacey (Dean) and Rodney (Lucy), grandchildren, Megan and Austin and her sister, Linda (John) and brother, Doug (Regina) along with many family and friends. Judy lived a full life, she was born in Victoria, BC on November 10, 1949 and lived back and forth between Victoria and Kamloops, BC. She was very close to her sister, Linda since childhood and they were best friends. Judy married her first husband, Daryl in 1970 and they had two children together. Judy met Gary in 1990 at a Full Gospel Businessmen’s dinner and they were married on February 29, 1992. Gary and Judy lived in Kamloops until 2006 when they moved to Kelowna where they both retired and bought a place in Mesa, Arizona. Judy loved animals, especially cats, she leaves behind her sweet Micah. Her hobbies were knitting, crocheting, ceramics, sewing and stain glass artwork. In her retirement she became an avid dominoes player and loved shopping. She is fondly remembered as a very loving, non-judgemental, supportive, unassuming woman who had a sparkle in her eyes and a beautiful laugh. Judy was a woman of great faith and we can feel comfort in knowing she is in heaven.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, February 22, 2014 at 1:00pm at the Full Gospel Tabernacle at 1550 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the BC Cancer Agency or the Brain Tumor Foundation of Canada or the Kelowna Hospice House.

Gary although we never had an opportunity to meet your good wife we realize it has been a long year for the both of you.
I know you have the spirit to work through the sadness and I look forward to seeing your happy face out on the golf course in 2014 and in future years.

I wish to extend my sincerest condolences during this very difficult time.
It was a few short months ago when I saw you at Shadow Ridge and you shared your wife’s, and your, long struggle with her illness. It is always difficult lossing a loved one after a long battle and the only comfort I have found is knowing that the loved one has found peace and is now in a better place.
Kindest regards to you all.
Tom.

Gary and Family,
Our most sincere condolences. We had known Judy since late 1988 as a co-worker and later as a good friend. Judy was a very hard worker, but her most memorable traits were her beautiful smile and cheerful attitude. We will miss her very much.
Dearest Gary & Family;
Your thoughts and sadness is shared by all our family. Please accept my condolences and a speedy period of recovery for your loss.
Love & Hugs,
Auntie Rosemarie (Rosie)
