March 7, 2026 

It is with great sadness that we announce that Judy Ann Adamski, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece and friend, a woman who wore many hats and was many things to many people has tragically passed on March 7, 2026 after losing her battle with Cancer. 

Her battle was both long and short, long in the sense that she was dealing with pains that were never fully understood for some time, just always pushing through. Short, in the sense that by the time we had an actual diagnosis and plan, we were in a race that we were already so far behind before we had even begun. 

Writing this is and has been one of the most horrible and heartbreaking things I have ever had to do because how do you put into words and summarize a life, especially one that in some ways felt it was just truly beginning. 

Judy was a woman who was kind, generous, hardworking, loyal, charismatic, funny, and stubborn to a fault. She was always only a phone call away to all those she loved, quick to always try to make our lives better or easier in any way she could, she always just wanted to help. 

Judy loved being outside, she loved her gardens and all her trees, plants and flowers, she loved the lake, the beach, and all warm sunshiny weather (she once told me the sunshine would heal her). She also loved camping with her family and honestly just being with her family, she loved to dance; to travel and to learn new things. She loved her jewelry and her clothes and shoes. She loved to collect recipes and many other things as any who loved her knew. I could go on and on about the many things, places and people she loved but there was nothing she loved more than being a mother and a grandmother. Those two roles were truly her calling in life. 

Judy had so many ideas and dreams, lots if not most left incomplete and unfulfilled. She was taken far too soon, and she fought so hard to stay, I can’t say there was ever a moment she stopped fighting to her very last breath. And even though she is no longer in pain, I know she wishes she was still here. The last piece of advice she gave me not long before she passed and was presented with her inevitable fate was don’t wait! Don’t wait to do the things you want to do, don’t wait to have the things you really want or see the people and places you want to see. She spent her whole life waiting. Waiting for more money, waiting for a better time, waiting for everyone else to be ok, waiting and waiting. She had only just started doing. 

Judy leaves behind so many people who loved her and will miss her unforgettable and steadfast place in their lives; her departure leaves an unfillable hole in our hearts. 

Lastly my mom (Judy) would never want to say goodbye, it’s far too final, so we say see you! See you again some day, until then we carry you with us in our hearts and in all we do.  

We do plan on having a celebration of life, likely in June or July, and in Williams Lake, but a date is to be determined – we will update when we know.
