JUDITH “JUDY” LYNNE HUNTER, of Lethbridge, passed away at St. Michael’s Care Centre on Thursday, August 31st, 2017 at the age of 74 years.

Judy was well prepared for a career in education, having earned a Bachelor’s degree in Calgary and a Master’s degree at McGill, as well as many post graduate courses in behavioral and cognition sciences. During her life-long career, she touched many lives as a teacher, administrator, counsellor and researcher. She will be remembered for her devotion to her students and her professionalism.

Judy was then able to further her passion to travel the world.

Judy is survived by her sisters Jo Ann (Randy) Perry and Sylvia (Dave) Evans, brother-in-law John Delorey, nieces Jacqueline (Jason) Fox, Jamie (Tyler) Hansen, Jordan (Clay Thiessen) Perry, Lauren (Dan) LeMaro, and nephews James Lanz and Jon (Britt) Lanz, grandnieces Reagan, Tristyn, Reese, Rogue and Luca; grandnephews Heath, Taylor, Cashton, Heston, Kingston and Barrett.
