\"\"Shirley JUDGE (nee Beaton)<\/strong>, from September 4, 1944 to February 3\u00a0 2020. She was \u201cSomething Beautiful\u201d.\u00a0Celebrations in Heaven are taking place for Shirley, who succumbed to a courageous battle with cancer on Monday, February 3, 2020 at the age of 75.
\nGrounded by her childhood rearing on the Beaton farm in Glenelg Township near Durham, Ontario, she joyously infected the Listowel community with her love and care for her whole adult life.
\nShirley was predeceased by her parents, Dorothy and Keith Beaton. She will be fondly remembered by her husband of 53 years, Vincent of Listowel, daughter Kelly and Randy Woods, sons John and Jennifer Corry, Gregory and Juliane Jaimieson and kept alive through the memories of all seven grandchildren: Taylor, Spencer, Jaydn, Ella, Alivia, Amber and Austin. She will also be missed by her siblings Betty-Lou Morrison and Dave, Gloria Morris and Ben, Mary Wyma and Steve, and Bruce Beaton along with her many nieces, nephews and steadfast friends.
\nShirley loved children and found joy being surrounded by them as a Kindergarten teacher, Sunday School teacher, Vacation Bible School Teacher\u2026 basically volunteering at her beloved Baptist Church for any event, endeavour or committee involving children or music. She served on the worship team, sang solos & duets, lead Cantatas and was the organist for over 30 years. In her broader community she continued to sing with \u201cThe Beaton Sisters\u201d, was a trained speaker for Christian Women\u2019s Clubs all over the country also serving for six years on their National Board. She was awarded honourary member of the Baptist Women\u2019s Association of Ontario & Quebec, led many Bible studies and positivity contributed to the social fabric of the greater Listowel area. She was the one truly responsible for the success of many politicians including her husband Vince. Humble, unassuming Shirley would be embarrassed if we continued to list her accomplishments and community service.
\nAmongst our sadness emerges abundance. She taught us all to listen, to love books, to sing, to ease the suffering of others, to be kind and understanding, to empathize and to love animals and nature. A lifelong learner, Shirley gently encouraged all to achieve their potential; she believed in you until you could believe in yourself.
\nVisitation will be held at Listowel Baptist Church on Friday from 2 until 4 and 7 to 9 PM. A funeral service of celebration and song will be held at the Listowel Baptist Church led by Reverend John Lambshead on Saturday, February 8 at 2 PM. Spring interment in McNeil Cemetery, Priceville.
\nThe Judge Family would like to thank all the visiting Nurses, PSWs and friends whose time, care and talents gifted Shirley a long stay in her home. Thanks also to the Eaton Funeral home, Reverend John Lambshead,\u00a0 Dr. Weston, hospital staff, the church family and friends for their support.<\/p>\n
