Judith Brown Obituary
Judith Ellen Brown, known to all as Judy Brown, passed away peacefully on March 12, 2021, her daughter Jenny by her side. She was predeceased by her father Robert, her sister Liana and her husband Stephen. Judy is survived by her loving family: mother Eileen, her eldest daughter Sara (husband Tim and son Jack), her daughter and caregiver Jenn, her son Robert (wife Jen) and her two cherished little dogs Sophie and Friskie.
A self-proclaimed army brat who moved around a lot, Judy was born in Alliston, Ontario and spent many happy years close to her beloved Grandma Mary, who helped raise her. Judy spent some of her childhood growing up in Germany having adventures, which she recounted to her own children with great fondness. Back in Ontario years later, Judy met her high school sweetheart Stephen Brown whom she would later marry.
Often Judy recalled special memories of her time as a young adult in both Victoria and Toronto where she enjoyed the music scene of the 70s and made many close friends.
Judy graduated from an accelerated program in nursing school in 1972 and devoted her professional life to the specialty psychiatric nursing. Known for her compassion, kindness, professionalism and keen instincts, Judy helped a great many people over the course of her career. She advocated for all patients, especially for children and adolescents, and affected change as a Patient Care Coordinator at Royal Inland Hospital. A leader amongst her peers, Judy was active in the BCNU; indeed, as a Council member she was a provincial voice for the stewards and was instrumental in composing the collective agreement. In later years, Judy enjoyed mentoring and teaching nursing through TRU, inspiring many upcoming professionals.
To all those who knew her, Judy will be remembered as highly emotionally intelligent, boundlessly kind, intuitive, insightful and smart. Judy was a charismatic story-teller with a wickedly funny sense of humour. She had a contagious laugh, blue eyes that sparkled and a way of making everything better. Judy gave her whole heart to her children, whom she always put first. Her ashes were spread on a beautiful day, under the blossoming cherry blossom trees in Vancouver, with her children, their spouses, her grandchild and dogs present.
If you wish to commemorate Judy, donations can be sent to the RIH Foundation - Adolescent Inpatient Psychiatric Unit.
