To Judy’s family, my sincere condolences, I met Judy in high school and would see her while shopping or visiting a restaurant or drug store, she was always the same smiling and caring person always asking how you were and never much talking about herself. A good soul she was!

To the family of Judy Eva Green-Smith;
On behalf of the executive and membership of Saint John Vocational School Alumni Association, I extend sincere and heartfelt sympathy and condolences in the loss of your dear mother, (grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt). Caring thoughts and prayers for strength and comfort are with you as you traverse this most difficult path on the road of life.
I was amazed that this past spring, with all she was dealing with, she had many questions for me as I had planned a 60th class of '62 gathering the previous fall, and she was looking for ideas and volunteers.to help plan & hold their 60th class reunion.
Cherish all the many memories you have shared with her and hold them close. May God's Love and Grace support you and keep your memories of more joyful times fresh, recall them often and share them often with one another. Blessings and comfort to you all.

Sending sincerest & heartfelt condolences to Judy's close family & friends following her recent passing.
As a social worker, I enjoyed the immense pleasure of knowing this strong & passionate woman through her work and dedication to foster families. Otherwise, Judy was always one who enjoyed "a good gab" - and over the years, I came to enjoy her stories about fostering from days of past - not to mention her many, many adventures (and sometimes hurdles) when travelling!
All of that to say, our world was a better place because of Judy's vigour, kindness & caring ways -- not to mention her lifelong passion, dedication & commitment to fostering. I don't doubt for a moment that she will be remembered fondly with her legacy long-lasting.

Having known Judy and her husband Steve for all of our 31 years of Fostering children, my wife and I considered them to be good friends.
Judy was a great ambassador and voice for fellow Foster Families, and I was proud to have served on the board of the SJ Association with her ( and Steve).
Judy's dedication to helping others, and her love for her family was exemplary, and a great source of pride.
-A great friend, and great person who will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her.

My deepest condolences Clay & Amy, Jacob & Sam at the loss of your dear mother & loving grandmother. My heart was broke when I received the news this morning in Ireland from a friend of my brother. Judy has been my dearest friend for 72 years. We made a lot of wonderful memories over the years including this photo of us on a trip to Grand Manan last summer. We were never at a loss for words as we could talk for hours on end! I know I will feel her loss for a long time to come as I know you all will as she was such a shining light in each of your lives & loved you all dearly. She was a trooper in her fight with cancer for the past three years - she continued to live her life & make memories right up to the time of her entering the hospital! She raised the bar for us all to follow when life’s circumstances deal us a difficult challenge! My prayers & love are with you all as you celebrate her life & grieve her passing.

Dear Clay, Amy, April, Carol and Patty:
I was saddened to learn of Judy's passing. I came to know Judy as a foster parent many years ago. I can say in all honesty Judy cared deeply about the children placed in her home. Judy was always busy but always had time for her children and grandchildren. She loved to travel and we she was always willing to share her adventures. Judy will be missed by many. Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of you mom and sister.

It is with heavy heart that we learn of Judy’s passing. Judy was a person who was respected an admired by many. We always said she was small but mighty. . Over the years through my work I had the privilege getting to know Judy. During that time as we worked so closely together a friendship was developed which I will cherish. She was a strong advocate for the families and children who were both providing and in need of services .
I also knew her as a women who loved her family with everything she had and was great in sharing her stories about them. Her sense of humour was infectious.
She will be missed.
Ken and I would like to extend our deepest condolences to Judys family, friends and fellow foster parents. Out thought and prayers will be with you during this very difficult time.
RIP sweet lady . You will ever be forgotten.

My deepest sympathies on the passing of Judy.
I met Judy through the N.B.F.F.A. many years ago, and attended a C.F.F.A. Symposium in Halifax with both her and Steve, what a wonderful couple they made. Judy was a memorable lady who could always keep you entertained with her stories of her travels, her fostering experiences and her life in general.
She was so proud of her kids and grandkids and really enjoyed talking about them too.
I am truly sorry to be out of province at this time, but I will always cherish the last time I saw Judy in Sussex with Patty and gave her a hug.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dear Judy, Margo just called to tell me that you had passed away…..I’m so sorry for the loss and sadness that your family and friends are feeling. We met years ago when I was a foster mother. You became one of my dearest friends to turn to during a few rough times while fostering. Your experience, kindness, warmth and professionalism meant the world to me and others. You listened and fought our battles with strength and dignity. May God Bless you with his presence and open arms. You will be dearly missed. Rest now pain free and in peace.
