In Memoriam - Judi Whittaker

Judi Whittaker - "The Wench" - passed away on Sunday August 7th, 2011 (Nanaimo)

Judi and husband Terry have been fixtures in the local theatre community since 2003, and were the founders of the Lady Smith's Little Theatre Company, responsible for bringing an old schoolhouse there back to life as a fully-functioning live theatre. Famous for their dinner theatre, they enjoyed many seasons there before moving to Nanaimo to retire in 2009.

Judi directed the South Island Zone Festival-winnning production "The Long, The Short and The Tall" that went to Mainstage in 2007.

Her Celebration of Life was held at Ladysmith Little Theatre, 3.00pm on Wednesday, August 10th.

In lieu of Floral Tributes, the family have requested instead, a donation to the Canadian Red Cross.
