It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Judy Laton (nee Page). She will be forever missed by her husband, Kevin; daughter, Cindy; sons, Will and Jay; daughters-in-law, Cindy and Mary; and grandchildren, Colin, Doug, Justin and Lucas. She is also survived by her sisters, Wendy and Gail; and her brother, Eric. Judy will forever be remembered for her unconditional love and affection to her husband, family and friends.
During her children’s younger years, Judy was active in their activities by volunteering with the National Little League and Oak Bay Minor Hockey. She served as vice-president and scheduling coordinator for a number of years and was proud of her contributions.
Judy worked for the provincial government for 20 years and made many friends during this time whose friendship she continued when she retired just a short 3 years ago. She was also proud to be part of the early morning Crystal Pool gang and often spoke of them fondly. Judy also made sure to visit long time childhood friend, Linda, in Kelowna as often as possible.
Since retiring, Judy and Kevin enjoyed camping (glamping) in their travel trailer around the island and the Okanagan; often coordinating camping excursions with sons, Will and Jay (and their families). Judy and Kevin also travelled to visit daughter, Cindy, in Red Deer as often as possible.
A Celebration of Life will be held at McCall Bros. Downtown, Johnson and Vancouver Streets, in the Family Centre on February 26, 2016 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated. Lastly, the family would like to thank the doctors and nurses at Royal Jubilee Hospital for the care and compassion they provided to Judy over the past two weeks.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Judy was a wonderful person who made our place of work enjoyable. She was always friendly and helpful. We all loved her! My condolences to Kevin and the family. May she rest in peace.
Mom, I can’t believe you are gone. You were taken from us much too soon and I wished I could of seen and talked to you one more time. I’m very grateful you and Kevin came out for a visit last June but that seems so long ago now. I know you will be with me always but I really miss your voice and presence. I love you and wish you were still with us….
I am so sorry for your family’s early loss of their Mother & Grandmother …I did not know her well but I did enjoy the time I spent with Judy at your home, Jay & Mary. Her kind nature and love for all of you shone through.
Kevin we were so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. It was so evident the love you both shared. Please accept our condolences to you.
