Obituary
Judith Ann Pateman (nee Martin)
June 15, 1950 – July 28, 2022
It is with saddened hearts that we announce the passing of our mom, grandma, sister, aunt & dear friend Judy.
She is predeceased by her loving husband Stuart and parents Harold and Pat Martin, father and mother-in-law Len & Betty Pateman
Judy is survived by her sons Ryan (Kathy) and Drew (Julie), her granddaughter Ramona, sisters Lynn Anderson (Bruce) and Laurie Danwich (Dennis), cousin Eva Brown, brothers-in-law Walker (Barb) and Howard and sister-in-law Janet.
Judy grew up in Albert Beach, Manitoba on a small farm and mink ranch. As teenagers, Judy and Lynn loved their bunkhouse, moving into it in April and out in November. There was always a girlfriend (or three) staying over.
She attended school in Victoria Beach, then on to Walter Whyte in Grand Marais for high school. From there she moved to Winnipeg to live with her grandmother and attend grade 12 at United College. Judy and Stuart were married in 1971 and shortly after, they headed off to work in Geelong Australia and traveled. When they returned to Winnipeg in 1974, Judy continued her career at the Health Sciences Centre Hematology laboratory. Judy retired as Charge Lab tech after 35 years to be a full time caregiver to Stuart.
Once settled in Winnipeg, they started their family welcoming Ryan in ’79 and then Drew in ’81. Stuart and the boys, were sports enthusiasts and especially loved skiing & snowboarding in the Rockies. Judy could usually be found in the ski lodge with her nose in a book, waiting for them to return and was always excited to hear their stories of how awesome the run was!
The special light of her life was her granddaughter, Ramona. Judy and Ramona could spend hours working on art, coloring and making cards to hand out to family and friends. She really loved every minute she got to spend with Ramona.
The family would like to extend a sincere thank you to Judy Rowluk for helping care for Judy, it was greatly appreciated.
We would also like to thank the staff and nurses at The Riverview Medical Centre for the exceptional care.
A Celebration of Life is planned for August 26th, 2:00 p.m. at the Beaches Community Centre located at 65 Arthur Road in Victoria Beach (on 59 hwy beside public works)
