Judy Lee (Hagen) Biggs

It is with profound sadness we say goodbye to daughter, Sister and Auntie, Judy Lee (Hagen) Biggs on October 3, 2026. Judy, aged 71, left this realm peacefully, with her family at her side in Kelowna Hospital, of heart related complications. Judy was predeceased by her Father – Clarence Hagen, Mother-Helen Hagen (Biggs),and Brother – Henry Hagen. She has left behind her Sister – Margaret Brown (Richard), Lawrence Biggs, and Maryann Biggs. She has many nieces and nephews – Lisa Cheryba (Matt), Lori Henderson (Stephen), Linda Isbister (Allen), Shannon (Hagen) Adamson, Ron Hagen, Bruce Hagen, Robin Biggs, Rocky Biggs (Valery Thibault ), Ashley LeCain (Chance). And many Great Nieces and Nephews -Kathryn and Xavier Cheryba,, Keagan and Payton Henderson, Jordan, Riley, Austin and Simon Isbister, Bryan Adamson (Kristie), Cody Hagen, Alexa and Alectra Shewchuk, Layla-Fee Biggs, Rhys and Aiden LeCain, Aura Adamson.

Judy was born in Peace River Alberta where she lived on the Hagen family homestead in Weberville until age 3 when the family moved to West Peace River. At age 13 the family moved back to another farm in Weberville. Judy enjoyed swimming, riding her bike, playing with friends, gardening, reading and later, travelling and cooking.

Judy spent her first 12 working years cooking on the rigs in Northern Alberta. The next 20 years were as a cook at the Mile Zero Hotel in Grimshaw, Alberta. During that time she attended NAIT and got her chef’s papers. She also spent some time in Creston, BC and in Calgary with family before moving to Athabaska, Alberta where she worked as a cook at the Athabaska Hospital for 19 years. Upon retiring, Judy moved to Kelowna BC where she spent her final years with Family then Sun Pointe Village and finally Glenmore Lodge in Kelowna.

Judy was a very active member of the Alberta Legion Ladies Auxiliary Branch 103 in Athabaska for 15 years travelling around to events in the countryside as a volunteer. Judy loved children (she was everyone’s favourite Auntie!) and cats.

In her retirement years she enjoyed family gatherings, boating, lunches, playing crib, animal shows, search words, adult colouring and attending functions at her facility.

She was a kind and gentle soul with a good sense humour who loved to bake and is well remembered for her bread and cinnamon buns!

Judy’s ashes will be buried in Peace River Cemetery next summer with her parents . We will have private family celebration of her life in Lake Country, BC near her birthday in March 2027. RIP dear girl!

Donations in her name can be made to The Legion or a small animal shelter of your choice.
