On July 20, 1945, she married Albert Joseph Foy, and together they had six children. She had a deep belief in God and this served as the cornerstone of her life. Most of her life was spent raising her family and simply being present for everyone she came into contact with. She had a sincere, strong love for people, especially children, and as a result came to be known as “Grammy Judy.” Grammy Judy’s love was infectious, she always saw the best in everyone, and as long as she was around, no one went without love, attention, or food! She worked tirelessly to make anyone and everyone feel comfortable in her home, and she had a wonderful sense of humor that stayed with her until her passing. She will be missed by so many and the world will not be the same without her.
In past years, she worked for the Canadian National Railroad in Bryant Pond, Maine; The Brown Company in North Stratford, New Hampshire; and Ethan Allen Furniture Manufacturing in Island Pond. She was a former member of Island Pond American Legion Auxiliary Post #80, and was an active volunteer for many years at the Island Pond Senior Center. In April of 2006, she traveled to the Vermont State House in Montpelier where she proudly received the Governor’s Award for Volunteerism in Community Service from former Governor Jim Douglas. She was also a breast cancer survivor and she participated in several cancer walks, including one in 2014 at the age of 91.
She is survived by her six children: Margaret Morrill and her husband, Robert, of West Glover, David Foy and his wife, Paula, of Johnson City, Tennessee, George “Tony” Foy and his wife, Sue, of Island Pond, Fred Foy and his wife, Gina, of Morrisville, John “Charles” Foy of Plant City, Florida, and Kathleen Fitzgerald and her husband, Matthew, of Williston; two brothers: Roderick “Roddy” Tremblay of Quebec City, Quebec, and Rudolphe “Duffy” Tremblay of Chandler; two sisters: Marie-Anna “Mamie” Wall of Chandler, and Marie-Ange “Nonie” Urquhart of Sept Iles, Quebec; and by 16 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her husband, Albert; her parents; six brothers and six sisters; and by a great-grandson.
At her request, there will be no calling hours. A funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, July 18, at 11 a.m., at St. James Catholic Church in Island Pond, with a celebration of her life following.
