Obituary of Judy Minshall
Minshall: Carol "Judy" Ann (née McFarland) -
A resident of Chatham, Judy Minshall passed away at the Chatham-Kent Hospice on December 2, 2024 at the age of 72.

Judy loved her job as a DSW and was a fierce advocate for the people she worked with. She had a background in arts and took that passion and knowledge and created an art program called the studio that allowed people with disabilities to express themselves through artistry. Judy was an amazing nana and could always be coaxed into playing with Juniper.
She will be deeply missed by many friends and extended family.
