WATSON Judyth

WATSON (Judyth):

A wonderful woman who dedicated her life to helping others. Fond memories of working at the Council of Official Visitors.

WATSON (Judyth):

Dear Judyth. Your intellect, compassion, courage, gentleness and commitment to helping poor and the downtrodden locally and globally touched so many hearts. Your leadership in setting up CARAD, work for refugees, and passion for helping Afghans settle both in Australia and Canada was inspiring. The people you helped and nurtured are lucky. I can still see you smiling despite all the pain and looking at the bright side of life. I will let James write his own message and upload a picture. But my dear friend, we both miss you, your smiles, friendship and presence. Glad that we were able to get your signature hug before leaving for Pakistan.

WATSON (Judyth):

Farewell dear Jude - passionate campaigner for social justice and very dear friend. We will all miss you so much.

WATSON (Judyth):

I will always remember Judyth's deep compassion and practical help for those struggling to find a place in our land. Her dedicated public service, including as Minister in the WA government, was always undertaken with competence and modesty. Her example will continue to inspire people of good will. Vale, Judyth

WATSON (Judyth):

Since meeting you in 1975 at UWA, though often separated by distance, you've been such an inspiring presence. Always happy, positive and enthusiastic with an admirable drive to be of help to others. Lots of fun times but our hike up Mt Disappointment in Victoria a real highlight.

Shall miss ya!

WATSON (JUDYTH)

8.3.1940 – 9.7.2023 Judyth passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by wonderful friends who have loved and cared for her over this last difficult year.

She did so much in her life to make a difference to others and she will be missed so very much by all who knew her.

Her smile, right to the very end, will forever be in our hearts, as will be her last word, amazing.

David and Kate

WATSON (DR JUDYTH)

WA Labors extends deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Dr Judyth Watson. Judyth was a feminist icon with a deep commitment to equity and justice. As a cross union Occupational Health and Safety Officer, she built on knowledge forged as a nurse and academic to steer the Occupational Health and Safety Legislation adopted in 1984. She was Member for Canning from 1986 to 1989, and Kenwick from 1989 to 1996. She held ministries including Aboriginal Affairs; Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs; Seniors, and Women's Interests. Judyth will be dearly missed by the Labor family.

Vale.

WATSON (JUDYTH)

A fellow alumnus of the UWA anthropology department and a contemporary in several theatres: union official and activist in the ALP; ministerial staffer; and, member of state parliament, including holding adjoining seats for a term. But most recently acting for refugees in an attempt to assuage the impact of Australia's disgraceful treatment of asylum seekers. Many happy and some poignant memories of good times and good causes.

Bill Thomas.
