It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Judy Primrose, 68. Born in Prince George, raised in Brentwood Bay, she was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, and friend to so many; the world has lost a special person. She is survived by her husband, Wayne, sister Carol and family, daughter Susie (Joey), son Ritch (Lindsay), grandkids Scarlet, Liam and Jace . Predeceased by her brother Dave (Pat), and missed by his family.
Judy lived a full, warm, vivacious life, and left a lasting impression on everyone who crossed her path. She had a special ability to make people feel seen, heard, and valued and was always ready to listen over a cup of tea. She was an avid gardener, reader, and world traveler, but her true calling was being a grandparent. A fourth-generation resident, her roots in Brentwood Bay run deep. A teacher in Saanich for four decades, she touched the lives of hundreds of students, and was a master of her craft.
A Service will be held on Wednesday December 8, 2021 at 2:00 pm in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, for all who want to celebrate Judy’s life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Judy’s name to the Brentwood Bay Community Association, at brentwoodbayinfo@gmail.com.

I was so saddened to learn of Judy’s passing and would like to extend my sincere condolences to Wayne, Susie and Ritch and your extended family. Judy was always such a bright light at Prospect Lake School and I really enjoyed working with her. She seemed to have infinite patience for all her ‘little charges’. Bubbly and fun are words that come to mind when I think of Judy. She would always update me on how and what Susie and Ritch were up to and was so proud of both of them. We really have lost a very special person much too early.
I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Primrose’s passing. While I never had her as a teacher at Prospect Lake Elementary, she made an effort to get to know pretty much all the kids/families at the school which really speaks to her kind and empathetic nature. I remember distinctly her supervising recess, always with a bag of cheddar Crispy Minis in hand and a smile on her face. She was such a kind soul and I send you & your family my sincerest condolences.

My sincere condolences to your family. I so enjoyed working with Judy for a number of years at Saanichton Elementary School. She cared so much for her kindergarten children and her family. She was a great colleague and friend. I remember that most days when she left school she was going home to have tea with her Mom.

I would like to offer my condolences to all of Judy’s family. I worked with Judy at Saanichton School for five years and remember her as a loving, caring and dedicated kindergarten teacher. She was adored by the children and parents and was highly respected by her colleagues for her skills as a teacher, willingness to work as a team member and commitment to lifelong learning. There will be much sadness amongst the legions of her former students who will recall how special she made them feel in their first year in school.
Mrs. Primrose was my kindergarten teacher and she was the greatest ever. She always knew how to cheer up kids and make everyone feel welcomed. My heart goes out to her family and she will always be remembered.
So sad to hear about the news that Judy had passed away. My condolences to all her family.
