Judith Ann Milley
1946-2020
With much sadness we announce the passing of Judith Ann
Milley on November 4, 2020, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. She
was born on May 5, 1946, in the town of New Waterford, NS. She was the
daughter of the late Lillian Beatrice Powell, and was a member of the
Calvin United Church, New Waterford, NS.
Judy is survived by her loving husband and best friend of 39
years, Kenneth Milley; her two sons: Walter (Tracy) Macdonald of
Nauwigewauk, NB, and John Macdonald of Hampton, NB; her brothers:
Harry (Cathy) Powell and Kevin Powell of Moncton, NB; and nephew,
Stephen of Sackville, NS. Judy is also survived by her five
grandchildren: Skylar, Brandon, Samantha, Bryson, and Addyson, who
were her pride and joy. She lived for their happiness.
Judy always put her family first. This was evident when she
sold her home in Cape Breton and moved to New Brunswick in order to be
closer to them. Judy loved her trips to Calais, yard sales, lobster,
and a good game of Tarabish, Crib, and Bingo. She looked to visiting
her family and friends every summer in Cape Breton.
Before she moved to New Brunswick, Judy was a foster parent
for 15 years. She and her husband Kenny opened their hearts and home
to many children. She believed in tough love and always felt these
children needed a loving but firm, guiding hand. Some of those she
fostered have kept in touch with her over the years.
Judy was a pillar of strength for her family and even during
her hardest days would smile and never complain. She had faith that we
would all met again. She is in God’s hands now and she will remain
forever in our hearts.
Along with her parents, Judy is predeceased by George T
Gillingham Sr. (Papa), George T Gillingham Jr (Uncle Tom), and Thomas
and Mary Spencer. Special thanks to the Palliative Care team
at the Saint John Regional Hospital for their care and
compassion.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Reid’s Funeral
Home (506-832-5541), 1063 Main Street, Hampton, NB. Services for Judy
will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Judy may be made
