Judith Anne
O’Connell
It is with great sadness that we announce
the quiet passing of Judith Anne
O’Connell.
Judy was a gracious lady who took great
pride in her family. She was predeceased by her beloved parents Harold
and Rhea O’Connell (nee Libbey) of
Sydney.
Judy is survived by her sister Jean
(Randy) Cleveland, Yarmouth; her two brothers, Harold (Val)
O’Connell, Singapore; and Michael O’Connell,
Halifax. Her nephews Ryan (Crystal) O’Connell, Calgary;
Kieron Cleveland, Yarmouth; Patrick O’Connell, Halifax; and
niece Tristyn (Patrick Faye) Cleveland, Nanaimo. There are many
cousins, but special thoughts to Neil Libbey, Sydney; Rhea (Kirby)
Coolen, Stellarton; as well as Louella (Gary) MacLeod,
Sydney.
Judy cared for all; friends, family, and
colleagues alike. She had a special love of animals, gardening and the
soothing sounds of the Mira River. Judy enjoyed her community work,
and a wide array of friends with whom she often enjoyed great meals.
Following the lives of her niece and nephews was a passion for Judy.
She enjoyed seeing life through the faces of these young
adults.
Judy sacrificed much for her family at an
early age. This commitment was extended to her RBC family, with over
40 years of professional banking service. Judy enjoyed travelling with
the girls from the bank and moved around the Maritimes, ultimately
returning to Cape Breton and the shores of the Mira
River.
Judy, you have lived your life well – your
gracious way, that gentle smile that warmed our hearts, will keep your
spirit alive as you rest in
peace.
Funeral direction is under the care of
Sydney Memorial Chapel. There will be no visitation; however, an
online book of condolences will be available. A Funeral Mass will be
held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Trout Brook
Road on Saturday, July 13th
at 6 pm. A reception will follow in Union Presbyterian
Church Hall, Albert Bridge. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made
to a charity of your choice. Internment will be at Resurrection
Cemetery.
« Now I conclude with a wish you go well,
sweet be your dreams and your happiness swell. I’ll leave
you here, for my journey
begins….. » Allister
