Judith “Judy” Irene Dobbie

February 9, 2025

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Judy, age 69, who passed away suddenly on February 9, 2025, with her loving nieces by her side at the LHSC – Victoria Hospital, London.

Dearest sister-in-law to Alice Dobbie and Carol Anne Brown.  Brother to William Dobbie.  Loving aunt to Tammy, Tracy, Becky, Kaylyn, Laura, Mel, Lisa, Terri-Anne, Ben, Joe and Denise.  Fondly remembered by her cherished cousin Sandie Clode.  Predeceased by her beloved partner Pat Jansen, parents John and Dorthy Dobbie (Cooper), brothers John and Robert Dobbie and sister-in-law Joan Dobbie.

Judy grew up in Arva, Ontario on the family dairy farm, keeping up to her older brothers, horseback riding and enjoying the outdoors.  She spent most of her career working for the London Free Press.  Judy was an avid traveler who loved new places, environments and experiencing different cultures. She loved life, family and her dearest friends.  Judy’s kindness, warmth and everlasting smile will be truly and dearly missed.

The family would like to extend their appreciation to the staff at LHSC for the care provided to Judy and family during her stay.

A cremation has taken place through Westview Funeral Chapel and a private interment will be held at Medway Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations to LHSC in Judy’s memory are appreciated by the family.

My sincere condolences to the family. I am very sad to hear that both Judy and Pat have passed away. I worked with Judy at the London Free Press, and then we reconnected years later while living in Byron. Many fond memories, good fun and lots of laughs with Judy and Pat at the Byron Legion dances. They were amazing people. RIP my friends. ❤️🙏

I am so sorry for the loss of a wonderful woman. I enjoyed working with Judy and getting to know Pat. Hearing that they both have been called home is shocking. They were such a wonderful couple. Sitting in the screen room visiting with my dog. Sitting around the firepit and having some great times. My love goes out to her family and friends. 💖💕⚘️🙏
