Judith Lynn Scott
September 5, 2011
July 30, 1963 – September 5, 2011
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Judy at Victoria Hospital in London surrounded by family and friends after a courageous struggle with cancer. She is the devoted mother of Joel, Hannah, Aaron and Samuel, all at home in London. Judy is the loving daughter of Bill and Donna Scott of Guelph, sister of Johnna Clapperton (husband Peter) of Texas and Taylor (deceased 1994). She will be missed by her nieces Rees Clapperton and Daniella Horley, nephews Zachary and Jacob Clapperton and Christoper Horley. Her many cousins, aunts, uncles, devoted friends and co-workers will miss her consummate winning smile and joyous laughter. Judy attended Centennial Collegiate in Guelph, Fanshawe College in London and the University of Waterloo. Her career was largely spent at the Madame Vanier Children’s Services in London (25 years). Judy’s talents were youth oriented and she nurtured many beyond her own family of four. A bed, a meal, a hug or an ear were amongst her God-given talents. Friends will be received by the family on Friday from 2:00-4:00 and 7:00-9:00 p.m. at the WESTVIEW FUNERAL CHAPEL, 709 Wonderland Road North, London. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, September 10th, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. at St. George Parish, 1164 Commissioners Road West, London. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to make a donation in memory of Judy are asked to consider Pancreatic Cancer Canada, Hospice Wellington (Guelph) or the charity of your choice.

Too young dear lady! You will be missed! Love George and Nancy Scott
Bill, Donna and family I felt great sadness when I heard of Judy's passing. Fond memories of our childhood and all the kids on our street come to mind. Judy was always friendly and smiling, willing to help out and easily made friends. We all had a great time growing up together. I know she loved children and I am sure had a wonderful life being blessed with four. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Susan
Judy you were an absolute angel on earth, I can only imagine the power you have now. You have blessed the planet with 4 children raised in your likeness, with kindness and generosity. Without a doubt, the earth is a better place for having you-even for a short time. you will be missed everyday. xo
Judy was a wonderful friend to grow up with and had such a great sense of fun. I still remember toboganning with her at Mary Phelan School when we hit a huge bump and went flying in different directions. We laughed hysterically until we realized that Judy couldn't walk and had probably broken her leg. She handled it all so well and sported her cast with a big smile. In my entire life I've never met anyone who loved children as much as Judy. If a baby was around, Judy was there and she was so loving with my younger sister Michelle. My heart goes out to Judy's children and the Scott family. Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Judy was a wonderful person and she will always be remembered. God Bless.
My thoughts and prayers are with Judy's family and friends during this time of loss. As a past C-IT team member, I had the opportunity to get to know this determined, genuine and caring woman. Through all of life's challenges, and there were many times I felt she had more than a persons share, she remained encouraging and hopeful. She loved her children, her family and friends, her various jobs and Vanier. I will remember Judy as I last saw her... at her 25 year recognition party...a beautiful sunny day this summer...surrounded by family, friends and co-workers...smiling, genuine, humble and so very brave.
Judy was my friend. I will miss her.
Tom and I met Judy many years ago when we worked at the Children's Village in St. Agatha.Judy was assigned to work with us as our child-care worker (we were houseparents). As luck would have it,Tom was working with her father Bill as a first year high school math teacher! Judy's infectious enthusiasm and joy enriched our days. We shared many a giggle during those times and we always looked forward to her arrival on site.She also played an important role in our extended family as she played "cupid" introducing my brother Paul to his beloved wife Susan. We will remember Judy with deep affection. To her beloved family we extend our deepest condolences.Knowing that love is eternal, we know in our hearts that judy's spirit will endure and continue to guide you and nurture you in the years to come.
Johnna, Pete, and Scott Family, Although we never had the opportunity to meet Judy, it is easy to see from reading the above condolences that she was truly a very special women who was loved by many. We wish that we could be with you during this time. Please know that our hearts hurt along with yours, and we are here if there is anything we can do on this end.......
Our deepest sympathy and prayers to Judy's children and family. It never ceased to amaze me how upbeat and warm Judy was. I had the pleasure of being a part of Judy and the children's lives at St. Theresa Catholic School. Her children were her world and I know they knew that because she shared her love with them every day. But Judy's love and care didn't end there. She brought that same concern for others to her work and when she volunteered. It is sad that we lost such a wonderful person, but I'm also happy that I had a chance to know her.
I will always remember Judy's warm smile and genuine personality. I am the youngest of my family. Judy was close to my sisters growing up and I always remember how she enjoyed playing and talking with me as a young girl. She was so sweet! My sincerest condolences to the Scott's family, my prayers are with you. Judy will be sadly missed!!!
Both Joe and I are deeply sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with Joel, Hannah, Aron, Samuel and family (Although we never had the pleasure of meeting Judy's Parents). Judy was the most beautiful and loving person we have ever known. Judy had the biggest heart and beautiful smile, when ever we visited. Judy was so thoughtful and had an easy laid back personality no matter how hectic her life was. Judy children also had the same loving personality. We will miss Judy very much, it has been an honor to have known someone so kind and loving!!!!!
Dear Donna, Bill and Family, I am very sorry to hear of Judy's passing. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Ursula Wachta

Iona & I were so sad to hear of Judy's passing & our thoughts & prayers are with you & your family at this time.
My heartfelt thoughts go out to your family. I am one of the gang from the neighbourhood. We had such a great time growing up and I always knew Judy would surround herself with children. What a gift that girl had. She will always be remembered in my heart.

My deepest sympathy to Bill and Donna, the world will be a poorer place without her.
Judy and I always had our children as top topics on any given day. Her love of all things creative and artsy made her an avid follower of my daughters performance antics or my sons sports pursuits. She in turn passed on her lively stories of her foursome, especially the 'Samisms'. She told me that Hannah had joined the Original Kids Theatre because she knew that Jordan (daughter) had been a member for years and she loved to hear the children and youth singing. I went to one of Hannah's plays and she did a wonderful job! One of our favorite outings back in the day were the CIT Red Lobster dinners or lunches and Judy attended many times even when she was off work. Our conversation may have been consumed by our children but we both also knew the value of some adult time and conversation. Judy was bright, inspiring and always took things head on. I am not surprised that she used this same brave approach when making some hard decisions this summer. I will trust that Judy will shine on in our memories, always smiling if not laughing. Our lives are certainly richer for having known her.
I was fortunate to have worked with Judy on CIT at Vanier's. Sharing that period of time made me realize what a special person she was. You could count on her to be passionate, compassionate and forthright. She was knowledgable and had a memory that was truly amazing! She was always supportive and helpful. I will especially miss her quick wit. Her love of family and her 'Vanier family' was always evident. A special woman who touched many, many lives and who was loved by many but none more than her family.....God bless you all.
I have always admired Judy. She never treated a challenge as an obstacle. We will miss Judy's beautiful smile and her strong will. Judy's priority for her children showed her true person. The love that Judy has shown her children will hopefully carry them through this most sad and trying time. Joel, Hannah, Aaron, Sam and Judy's family, we are thinking of all of you. Words cannot express how sad we all are for all of you. We will keep you in our thoughts. Bob, Andrea, Tyler, Trevor and Claire Dulong
sometimes people come into your lives for a long period and sometimes they are in your life for abreif period , however long sometimes these people have an impact on you and your confidence,values, perspective on the world as a whole. its these certain people that sometimes trigger a light on inside of you that you forgot about these true and honest people are a rareity in the world and i am blessed to have met such a wonderful person!!! I feel blessed and thankful to have met such a true and honest person , thank you for teaching me when you were more than busy thank you for providing me with cravings while i was pregnant and thank you for being part of my team in learning for the short while i was at vanier
Judy had brought so much laughter, joy and sunshine in many people's lives. She was a co worker, mentor and most of all a great friend. Knowing her over the past 20 years and her dedication to the ones she loved was inspirational and I am very grateful for the time we shared. She had always preached family values and I hope to be half the parent, mother that she was to her amazing four children. Judy was surrounded by family and friends who loved her unconditionally and we are all better people having known her and been part of her time here on earth.. We love you Judy and will miss your amazing smile and warm touch. You will be missed...
I had the privilege, and I do not use that word lightly, of working with Judy during our residential years. I fondly remember taking an outing to Guelph, to partake of Mr. & Mrs. Scott's pool and hospitality with a small group of our kids one summer. The warmth and generosity the Scott's shared that day was the core of Judy. Her passion and humour made her a great co-worker and friend. After I left Vanier, I often called into the Crisis and Intake line on behalf of kids I was working with and was always happy and reassured when Judy answered the phone as I knew "my kids" would be well taken care of. Judy was always a very proud Mom and had many wonderful stories and pictures to share. She was also a very proud daughter and sister. She has touched so many lives over the years....I doubt she really understood the impact she's had on others...we all certainly do. Judy, you are greatly missed......
I have known Judy for the 21 years I have worked at Vanier. Her ability to find the positive in people, her ability to rise above any problems she was experiencing, was truly inspirational. Judy loved a good joke and shared many with me. Her dedication to her kids, and to the families and kids of Vanier will remain with us all for many years to come. I will miss you Judy.. but your spirit and faith live on in your wonderful children.
We met your mother through baseball and always were amazed at how she loved you children and loved being at your games. She will be missed by many people. She touched and enriched so many lives. Our deepest condolences to the entire family
Our deepest condolences to Judy's parents and the whole family.
Sorry to hear, Our deepest condolences to the entire family.
I (Carla) never had the opportunity to meet you, I have heard many wonderful, caring things of you all through the Montgomery family. Judy wished to see dean and I marry so we put a 2 year rush on the event and celebrated our marriage on august 27,2011. Unfortunately Judy was not able to attend , I just wanted to say thank you Judy for the push to marry. I know you were there in spirit, we thought about you all day. Dean thanks you for everything you have ever done for him. You will be missed, but never forgotten. We shall meet one day. xo Dean & Carla Montgomery
I wanted to let Hannah and her family know that the Saint Thomas Aquinas community is keeping you and your family in our prayers and close to our hearts. May the fond memories and love for your beautiful mother remain with you always, Antonietta De Bellis Hannah's Philosophy teacher

My deepest sympathy to Judy's family. I grew up with Judy in Guelph, attending public and high school together. We spent many summer days together laughing and getting into trouble. I had the pleasure of seeing Judy on my 40th birthday when she drove from London to surprise me. I was glad to see she still had that spark in her eyes and the same laughter that came from deep within. Your spirit will never be forgotten.
Joel, Hannah, Aaron and Sammy, Your mom came into our life about 35 years ago. I think she learned how to change your diapers by practicing on Wes. I can't be all sad when I think of her because she brought so much laughter to me. Your mom had a way to make me laugh until the tears came down my face. These are the memories I will keep with me forever. You are so lucky to have had Judy for your mother because the one thing and most important thing any child could want is the unconditional love that she gave you all, equally. You were all the apple of her eye, the pride of her world. We will all miss her so much. God Bless. love Lily & Bob
Sincere sympathy to the Scott Family. Our thoughts are with you.
Dear Donna and Bill Our sincere condolence to you and your family at this very sad time. Reading all the beautiful words written by Judy's friends , makes us believe you have much love and many cherished memories to help sustain you . Take care of each other sincerely Bob and Pat Gleason
Bill and Donna- The thoughts and prayers of the Burns family are with you at this difficult time. Take care of each other. Beth and Cathy
Reta & Don have you both in our thoughts
We met along time ago. Weddings, showers get togethers and you were always a gracious person. You will be missed by many and i know your family will be taken care of. Sleep beautiful lady. No more pain or heartaches.
My sincerest sympathies to Judy's family, her sister Johnna and mother and father Bill and Donna Scott. I regret very much not being able to attend the funeral home or the funeral mass, however this little message will help out with me not being there. We will be holding a funeral mass for Judy September 12th at 9:30am at the St. Joseph's Health Centre Chapel, Godbless you all and love, John Churcher.
It is with sadness in our hearts that we say Cheerio to you dear Judy. "We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when, but I know we'll meet again come sunny day". It is with gladness in our hearts we hold and treasure the happy memories of you honey, as a little girl, a cherished playmate to Jacquie and Robbie, along with yur big and adoring sister Johnna. Taylor and Jenny joined our strong family circle a few years later. Your sense of fun, laughter and giggles, stalwartness and strength, fairness and resilience, loyalty and compassion bring a smile to my face as I think of you. As a beloved daughter and sister and friend you were the sweetest. As a loving Mom to your four beautiful children, you were the greatest gift God could have given them. Our love and deepjest sympathy go out to your four children, Joel, Hanna, Aaron and Sammy. Dear, dear friends, Donna and Bill, our hearts are breaking for you at this excruciatingly difficult time of loss of your darling daughter Judy. Our love is with you, all wrapped up in our prayers. Angels with all of you.
Dear Bill and Donna We are so sorry for your loss and wanted to let you know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Bill, Donna, Johnna and families: As a young girl, I was fortunate to have spent some time with Judy when she would visit her father at work. She had a wonderful smile for everyone to enjoy. Carole Don and I are sorry that we will not be able to visit London to share in your sorrow. We will however say a prayer for Judy and family. Our thoughts are with all of you! We are sending HUGS! Love to all.
