Judith Eleanore Bailey

Sadly, after a brave and dignified battle with cancer, our beloved Judy passed away on Saturday May 10th, 2025 at the age of 77.  Judy is survived by her long time partner, Terry Holmes, her daughter Donna (Jed Narraway) and son Mark, step children Jennifer (Jerry Lovins), Dustin (Heather) and Brenden (Katrina). Judy also leaves behind a broken hearted group of relatives including 16 grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and so many cherished friends. Judy was born in Toronto to Frances and Russell Page. At 10 years old her family (siblings Nadine, Peter and Marshall) moved to Ottawa. Judy always loved music and became a very talented pianist and vocalist. Throughout her life, Judy sang in many different churches, festivals and choirs. Her music took her everywhere from cathedrals in Europe to the Tweedsmere Hotel with her rock band, Second Time Around (60’s Cycles). Judy began her teaching career at 20 years of age, and ended her career 36 years later, teaching English as a Second language at Blossom Park PS in 2003. She’s described by colleagues as embracing her teaching with energy, creativity, compassion and unconditional commitment. Besides her beauty and musical abilities, Judy was known for her gorgeous gardens, good taste in home decor and style. She will be sorrowfully missed by her much-loved dogs, and her curling, bridge, teaching and golf companions. Judy is now at peace, with her Lord and Saviour in heaven. Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at the Daley family Funeral Home, 6971 Bank St. from 2-4 and 7-9 pm on Tuesday May 20. A Service in Memory of Judy will be held at Parkway Pentecostal Church, 7275 Parkway Rd. in Greely on Wednesday May 21 at 10:45 am.  Condolences may be left at www.daleyffh.ca
