Kawaja, Judith « Judy » Louise (Proctor) of Port

and into the arms of her beloved late husband Darryl.
Born on March 28, 1947 in Evanston, Cape Breton, she went to
school in Whiteside and Mabou before settling in Port Hawkesbury to
raise a family. She was a wife, mother and grandmother who loved
wholeheartedly. Judy led a life filled with boundless curiosity for
the world and had an ability to find joy and beauty in the small
things of life.
She spent years volunteering with organizations including
Development and Peace and Grandmothers to Grandmothers. She opened her
heart and home to friends from the Coady International Institute and
L’Arche Cape Breton. With enthusiasm, she traveled the world
and in later years, welcomed travellers into their
B&B.
Judy spent her last two years living in Ottawa with her
daughter while undergoing treatment and later palliative care. Special
thanks to the Maycourt Hospice, especially Dr. Lisa Aldridge and Derek
her palliative care nurse. Endless gratitude for the love and support
of dear friends near and far.
Judy will live on in the hearts of her children, Nicole,
Nancy, John, Cheryl and son-in-law Colin; her twelve grandchildren,
Aiden, Ainslie, Rachel, Alison, Hannah, Cameron, Emma, Ryan, Mika,
Brooklyn, Maggie Jane, and Neil. She was dearly loved by her surviving
brothers, John and Mervin; sisters, Anne and Rose; as well as those
