It is with great sadness that the family of Judy Andreson announces her peaceful passing, surrounded by loved ones, on April 21, 2025, at the age of 72 years.

Born and raised in Viking, Alberta, Judy was the second of four children born to Garnet (Tye) and Betty Hopfe. In 1976, she married the love of her life, Ken Andreson, and together they raised their three children on an acreage near Kinsella.

For 35 years, Judy served her community as a devoted and compassionate nurse at the Viking Hospital. Her caring spirit and deep friendships extended well beyond her years of service. In retirement, she continued to give back by volunteering at the Viking New to You organization.

Known for her cheerful nature, quick wit and playful sense of humor, Judy brought joy and laughter wherever she went. She never met a stranger, only friends she hadn't talked to yet. She was the heart and soul of our family and will be remembered always with love and gratitude.

She leaves behind her devoted husband Ken, her beloved children David (Dana), Dean (Jenifer), and Shelli (Jay), her sisters Pat and Joan, and her dear friend Ev. She also leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter in her seven grandchildren and two great-granddaughters; they were her pride and joy.

She was predeceased by her parents and her brother Rick.

The family extends their heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the staff at the Vialta Lodge, the Home Care team, and everyone at the Viking Hospital for the loving care they provided to Judy.

A celebration of Judy's life will be held at a later date with family and close friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Alta-Vi Memorial Society (Box 780, Viking, Alberta, T0B 4N0), or a charity of one choice.
