Obituary

Judith Ann MacKenzie, of Lucknow, wife of the late Neil MacKenzie passed away peacefully at Wingham & District Hospital surrounded by her family on October 15, 2024. She was 72 years old.
Judy was born September 5, 1952, in Kincardine Township. Daughter of the late Duncan & Kathleen Thorburn. She was the dear mother of Brian & Annette MacKenzie, Neil MacKenzie, and Erin & Chad MacArthur. Missed by her grandchildren Branson, Lane, Coye, Drayton, Brooke, Dallas, Jayce, Jenna, and Coby. Judy is survived by her sisters Janet (Wayne) Nixon and Joyce (David) Thompson and many nieces and nephews.
Judy will be remembered for her big loving heart, her love for her grandchildren and children, always putting their needs before her own. She was a baking grandma, a craft grandma, a whatever you want to do grandma. 
Over the years she was a large supporter and volunteer of the Ashfield Presbyterian Church and the Lochalsh Cemetery.
She lived by these words: “start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart”.

There aren’t enough kind words to describe Judy. Judy was an amazing person! The best grandma anyone could ask for she truly was a kind caring person devoted to all her family! I am honoured to have to have had many a dinner around the table and shopping trips I can’t repay her enough for the love that she showed my two kids ! She was an important role model. We were all lucky to have her a part of her life.! ( not only her but Grandpa Neil as well ) deepest sympathies…. Misti Humphrey

To Brian, Neil & Erin, and to your families, We are so very sorry for the loss of your Mom, and Grandma. Judy was a wonderful woman, and the biggest supporter of each of you.
