Born to Betty and Jack Bitz, she was the middle girl of three, and born to stand out. As she grew up, every day it became more apparent that she was truly unique.
Judy was and is the most dedicated, encouraging, eccentric and gentle soul a person could ever encounter. Her hard work was incredibly honourable.
Judy was known as a daughter, sister, cousin, niece, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife, love and a friend. She has left an unimaginable impression in the hearts of all she met.
On Sunday, June 21, 2020, Judy passed away very unexpectedly but, thankfully doing something she loved almost as much as she loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It was a tragic motorcycle accident, with her love Arnold Watson, that took the life of such a beautiful soul that Sunday afternoon.
Judy leaves behind an extensive list of family and friends that will never forget her. Her fiancé Arnold Watson, mother Elizabeth Marie Bitz, sisters Jackie (Bill) “Sonny” Johnson and Gail (Gordy) Lamb, her daughters Jane Marie Deschamps and Jodie Lyn Deschamps (Carl Oulton), grandchildren; Crystal Ann Deschamps (Brandon Young), Cassandra Marie Deschamps (Karl Prevost), Cody Aaron Boehm, Jason Christopher Deschamps, Stephanie Marie Deschamps and Taylor Lesley Deschamps, her great-grandchildren; Tomi-Lynn Myka O’How, Stevie-Ann Freya Clifton, Rorik Dion Young, Zane Howard-Lee Ericsson-Boehm, Ellie Barbra-Jane Ericsson-Boehm and Raylee Ann-Marie Deschamps as well as many more devoted family and friends. She was predeceased by her father Jackob Joseph Bitz.

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence.
“As I sit in Heaven and watch over you every day, I try to let you know with signs I never went away.
I hear you when you’re laughing and watch you when you sleep. I even place my arms around you to calm you when you weep.
I see you wish the days away, begging to have me home. So I try to send you signs, so you know you’re not alone.
Don’t feel guilty that you have life that was denied to me. Heaven is truly beautiful. Just you wait and see. So live your life, be free.
And know with every breath you take, you’ll be taking one for me.
I’ll meet you at the garden gate.”
