null WILSON Obituary

WILSON, Judith Margaret (nee King)

With heavy hearts we announce the sudden loss of Judith Margaret Wilson (nee King), who passed away surrounded by family in Vancouver on January 3, 2023.

Judy was born on July 31, 1937 to parents Graeme and Margaret King in Vancouver, BC, where she grew up and lived most of her life. She is predeceased by brothers Malcolm and Michael and survived by her sister Terry Wilkinson.

In 1961, Judy met a dashing man from Ontario named David Wilson who had moved west and soon became her loving husband for 59 years. Judy and David built a rich life in Vancouver and she will be forever remembered and loved by David and their three children, Sarah (John Catliff), Chris (Kara) and Hamish (Nancy), as well as four wonderful grandsons Brendan, Andrew, Jamie and Charlie.

Judy and David raised their family mostly in Vancouver and also spent five special years in Toronto. Over a lifetime, she developed a wealth of dear friends with whom she shared fun and games, dinners and trips, creating cherished memories.

There was no subject this bright-minded UBC graduate could not cover. Judy took interest in news, the arts, food and sports and elevated many a dinner-table or cocktail-party discussion with her wit and smarts.

Throughout her life, Judy could fairly be described as a: loving wife, adoring mother, caring friend, proud grandmother, welcoming host, exceptional cook, keen golfer, lefty-swinging tennis player, bridge maven, avid reader, enthusiastic shopper, perfect gift-giver, true blue sports fan and fantasy football champion.

Judy was all that and more and will be deeply missed, dearly cherished and forever remembered by everyone lucky enough to know her.

In lieu of flowers, and for the love of family, donations can be made in Judy's memory to Ronald McDonald House BC.
