Judith was a very sweet person. I enjoyed seeing her at the gym and talking to her. She was always happy to listen and to give advice. She was a gentle soul and will be missed. - Posted by: Greg Levy (Gym friend) on: Oct 07, 2025

Judith was such a bright light at the gym. She greeted everyone by name, with a smile and an anecdote. She showed a genuine interest in getting to know her fellow gym friends. We bonded over both having worked in the mental health field and our love of reading, exchanging authors and titles. Her bright smile is missed at the gym My condolences to Judith's family. - Posted by: Sue Stewart (Gym acquaintance) on: Oct 05, 2025

I remember meeting Judy and Edward when both of them came in for Jessica’s Graduation from Mcgill University. There will always be feeling of emptiness but with time that empty feeling will be filled with happy moments you shared together . Condolences From Barry, Karen and Sarina. - Posted by: Barry Simon (Reisa’s cousin) on: Oct 04, 2025

I have so many fond childhood memories of Judy. Bernie and I were boyhood friends. So I was around the Adelman house a fair bit...not to mention the countless family gatherings with our Baba. I am sad to learn of Judy's passing. I take comfort knowing that hers was a life well lived - full of purpose, kindness, and love. - Posted by: Neil Sandell (cousin) on: Oct 04, 2025
