May 29, 1956 – September 26, 2025
We are saddened to announce the passing of Judith Lamb at the age of 69 years after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
She is survived by her son, Edward Lamb-Porayko (Kayla) and her daughter, Victoria Porayko. Judy was predeceased by her parents, Jessie and Gordon Lamb of England.
Judy was born in Carlisle, England. It was in England that she trained as a teacher. She taught in England for 19 years before moving to Canada on a teacher exchange. She taught in Winnipeg 1 School Division from 2008 until her retirement in 2022.
Judy was very active in her retirement before her disease made it impossible to continue her activites. She was an accomplished violinist and performed at Folklarama for a few years. She also taught violin at the LA School of Music for many years. Her musical talents also included piano and singing. She loved to sing with her choir, Octavia. Judy was also a long standing PEO member.
Judy was a women of many interests. She was a talented painter, seamstress and knitter. She was also physically active with playing pickelball, cycling and long walks. If you couldn’t find her doing that, she was off hiking, boating, camping and exploring nature.
Judy touched the lives of many people: her students and collegues over her years of teaching, her many friends through church and community, choir, and her children. She will be greatly missed.
Thank you for the lessons you brought to this world.
Her service will be held at Selkirk Community Church on October 15, 2025 at 1:30pm.
If desired, donations can be made, in Judy’s name, to Cancer Care Manitoba.
