Judith is pre-deceased by her husband, John Slater, her sister Beryl Benge, and her niece, Louise Benge.
Judith and John moved to Deep River from England in October of 1966 to begin a full and active life within the community. Judith was a dedicated Deep River and District Hospital Volunteer as well as being President of the Hospital Auxiliary. She helped run the Deep River Hospital Gift Shop and was an active volunteer at the Deep River Library. She also enjoyed delivering Meals on Wheels.
She was an avid golfer and looked forward to playing Bridge with her friends. She and John were members of the Deep River Cricket and Tennis clubs. They enjoyed the local dances and parties (she often started the festivities with a glass of Dubonnet).
She loved when her family was around and was delighted to play many games with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We will miss her giving nature, love of cryptic crosswords, and her delicious English fare.
Thank you to the many Personal Support Workers and friends who helped support her and the family.
