Judith Jackson

Embraced by the love of her daughter, Judith of Lostock Hall passed away peacefully at the age of 78.

Beloved daughter of the late Harry and Mona, Judith was a much loved and devoted mum to Fiona and Darren, mother of Wayne, fondly remembered by Tony her former husband and friend, ex wife to Martin. A proud and cherished grandmother, she was ‘Nan’ to Emma and ‘Nanna Smoo’ to Sienna. Judith was a much loved mum in law to Jon and Thalia, a dear sister to Margaret, and is reunited now with her late brother Brian.

Judith led a vibrant life, working as a landlady in pubs across the country, where her warm yet spirited personality left a lasting impression on those she met. She had a cheeky sense of humour and was known for always speaking her mind.

Family and friends will fondly remember Judith’s legendary buffets, no one could quite understand how she managed to put together such a delicious spread so quickly, especially when someone was hungry. Hosting and feeding loved ones was one of her great joys.

She adored spending time with her grandchildren and treasured the regular catch ups with her dear friend Yvonne. Some of her happiest moments were spent living on her narrow boat, enjoying the peace and quiet of the countryside.

In her later years, Judith found comfort and joy in the simple things, colouring books, word searches, reading, and her beloved TV soaps. She valued her own space and embraced the quiet pleasures of daily life.

Judith will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Donations are being gratefully received in Judith’s memory on behalf of Dementia UK, a donation box will also be available the funeral.
