Judy Dartt
1949-2020
Judith Katherine “Judy” (Dee) Dartt, age 71,
resident of Trenton, Nova Scotia, passed away July 6, 2020 at
Ivey’s Terrace Nursing Home after a valiant battle with
Alzheimer’s disease. Judy was born in New Glasgow, Nova
Scotia on April 21, 1949. She was the only daughter of the late Henry
and Sadie (MacKay) Dee and wife of the late Alvin “Lee”
Dartt, Jr.
She devoted her life to her husband and three girls. Over the
years, she cared for many children in her home and they became a part
of her family. Lovingly known as “Mama Jude”, she welcomed
everyone in her home for a sit on the deck, a warm chat, a good laugh
or a swim in the pool and made sure you didn’t leave hungry.
She honed her bowling skills every Wednesday morning for almost three
decades as a member of the Housewives League. Her
teammates graciously supported her bowling even when the progression
of her disease made it challenging. It was a source of great joy for
her as was going out with her walking buddies, sitting alone with a
great book or watching a good mystery.
She is survived by her daughters, Wanda (Sheldon Matthews),
Kentville; Tracy (Lilla Bennett), Trenton; Amy Dartt, New Glasgow;
brother, Alan (Carolyn Dee); sisters-in-law, Marilyn (Dave Raynard);
Carla; as well as nieces, nephews and close cousins. She was
predeceased by her brother Gordon Dee.
A private family visitation will be held at the R.H. Porter
Funeral Home, New Glasgow. A graveside Celebration of Life will take
place at the Lorne Street Cemetery on Saturday, July 11, 2020 at 1:00
pm. Family and friends are welcome. All COVID
related public health measures will be maintained and respected during
this difficult time and those attending the service are encouraged to
wear a mask. In Judy’s memory, donations to the
Alzheimer’s Society of Nova Scotia would be
appreciated.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Judy Dartt 19492020..
