JUDITH SHERK Obituary
Judy passed away unexpectedly following a ruptured brain aneurysm at St. Michael's hospital in Toronto. She leaves her son, Anthony; his partner, Luanne Kanerva; grandchildren, Jessica Sherk and Morgan Sherk; and several nieces and nephews. Her husband, John Sherk; and sons, Jamie and Philip predeceased her. A clever student, Judy returned to school while working and raising her three sons, to earn her Master's Degree in Health Sciences at the University of Toronto. In her later years she became an avid bridge player, pilates devotee, French conversationalist, world traveler, and enthusiastic garden helper for many of her friends. Her sudden passing has shaken everyone who knew her. She was a treasured mother, grandmother and friend. Judy gave much of herself to others and will be profoundly missed. A Celebration of Life in her memory will be held at the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club (44 Price Street, Toronto, ON, M4W 1Z4) on Saturday, November 23, 2024 from 2 to 5 p.m. If so desired, a donation can be made to Fife House or 2-Spirited People of the 1st Nations.
