Judith "Judy" Stote

Judith (“Judy”) Ann Stote

(née Baker)

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Judy Stote of Appleton on November 15, 2024 in her 81st year, after a brief illness. Predeceased by her beloved daughter Andrea, much loved brother Chris Baker (Doriana), parents Reg Baker and Mildred Fox-Baker, in-laws Ethel and Raymond Stote, and brother-in-law Frank Stote. Survived by her cherished husband Wes Stote, beloved son Matthew (Johanna), adored granddaughters Anarah and Sahai, and loving siblings Pat, Frank, Claudia, Wendy, Gloria and Adrian (Rob Cretien). Also survived by her Stote in-laws Dan (Kathy), Phil (Jean), Florence (Boris), Larry and Frances (Michael). She will be dearly missed by numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

Judy was born and raised in Montreal and began her work life at the Royal Trust, where she worked for 15 years. She moved to Carleton Place with Wes and baby Matt in 1976 and was one of the founding owners of The Granary natural food store, in 1978. Judy also worked as a bookkeeper at Lanark Community Programs for 10 years, a job she enjoyed very much.

Judy loved being a homemaker and was a devoted daughter, wife, mother, sister and auntie. She was an avid baseball fan and loved her Blue Jays. She was a gentle, kind and generous person who will be forever in our hearts.

Fly free now, Judy. We love you dearly.

We are grateful to the CPMH nurses for their compassionate care.

Family and friends may visit at Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Ave, Carleton Place on Saturday, November 23 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm.

For those who wish, a donation may be made in Judy’s name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
