Judith INCE

INCE, Judith
Our beloved Judith died of a stroke on January 16, 2018.
Judith grew up in Burnaby, BC. She studied art history at UBC and subsequently taught the subject at SFU and Emily Carr. After taking time away from her career to parent her three children, she returned to work as a journalist with The Tyee before retiring permanently. Throughout her life, Judith was dedicated to helping those in need and advancing positive social and political change, goals she pursued through her work as a volunteer with numerous and diverse non-profit organizations.
Judith was a woman of exceptional intelligence whose life was marked by a profound curiosity about the world. These qualities expressed themselves through her academic accolades – of which there were many – but even more so through her lifelong love of the written word. In our hearts, Judith is best remembered curled up with a book or magazine.
The cornerstone of Judith's life was Richard McMahon, her husband of 35 years, and their children, Paul, Laura and Allison. The dinner table was the centre of family life, where Judith's exquisite cooking provided the backdrop for much debate and laughter. In recent years, Richard and Judith cultivated many shared passions, including Galiano Island, wine, film, and travel.
We have lost a remarkable and unforgettable spouse, mother, and friend. In our mourning, we strive to follow Judith's example of kindness, compassion, and generosity.
A celebration of life will be held in Vancouver on Sunday, February 11, 2018 (judithincememories@gmail.com). Remembrances of Judith are welcome at the same address. Donations in Judith's memory may be made to Doctors Without Borders.
