years and spent many an evening gathered with family and friends at the King Kirkland
Recreation Center to sing and dance the night away.
She is pre-deceased by her husband Arnold, her sisters Karen Wenske (Charlie) and
Verna Bound (Maria), and her parents, Ruby and Donnie Holman. She is survived by
her daughter Lisa Cholette (Lawrence) and son Donnie Peters (Jodi). She is also
survived by her sister Faye Cade (Ed), her grandchildren Kodi Cholette (Dez), Kortni
Cholette (Nate), Kasi Cholette (Brian), Koltin Cholette (Rebecca), Liam Peters, Calvin
Sorochan, Camryn Ryan, and Alexis McClinchey, as well as her great-granddaughters
Paiten Cholette-Thompson, Ocean Cholette, and Alexis Marcotte.

I’m sorry for the loss of your mother Judith. Even thought I didn’t know her well, I did know how much she loved her family and would go to any length to protect them. She put all her time, love and energy into her family who she was so very proud of. When you talked to her about her children she would have such a big smile on her face. Your mother, grandmother and best friend left you’s with so many wonderful memories to cherish, so keep them close to your heart. ❤️

Lisa and Donny, words cannot express how sad I was to hear about Judy’s passing. I will forever be grateful for having her and Arnold teach me some of the most important things in life. Knowing both of them are together again makes this message a little less hard to write. So many memories of working along side both of them came flooding back these last few days. All the great times we had flipping burgers, cutting fries , making drinks , pouring the “breakfast clubs” coffee every Sunday morning, the customers we had the pleasure of serving and hearing Tash Cash will always be close to my heart. Rest easy Judy, you are with Arnold again ❤️

I Have Very Fond Memories Of Judy (And Arnold) From Back In The Smitty Days, But Also Really Had The Honour Of Working With Judy At The Local Giant Tiger Store.
