Bonkalo JudiithBONKALO, Judith (nee HAMPEL)   -  July 10, 1927 - January 4, 2023

 

Judith died peacefully, at home on her own terms, surrounded by her loving family.

 

She leaves her children, Annemarie (Gerald Sadvari) and Judith (Brooke Johnston). She was very actively involved in helping raise her grandchildren, Alexandra Sadvari (Michael Kochan), Eric Sadvari (Kevin Woodward), Alison Sadvari (Linton Taylor), Cameron Johnston (Lisa McCarthy), and Logan Johnston.

 

She was very proud of her six great-grandchildren: William, Jackson, Katherine, Maeve, Mia and Zoe.

 

Judith was predeceased by her husband, Dr. Alexander Bonkalo "Alec" (deceased 1988), and her brother, Anthony Hampel. Judith was born in Budapest, Hungary and educated by the Loretto nuns, followed by the University of Budapest, where she studied English literature and linguistics.

 

Unhappy living through the horrors of both Nazi and Communist regimes, she and Alec left in 1948 for Sweden on his medical fellowship. Their first child was born in Stockholm. Another fellowship followed the next year, this time in Toronto at the Banting and Best Institute. The birth of their second daughter completed their family.

 

Toronto was now their home.

 

Above all, there were many tennis matches and much camaraderie at the Toronto Lawn, North York and Mayfair tennis clubs. She was full of fun and good humour on and off the court.

 

Judith loved a good game of cards, whether bridge for Masters points or gin rummy. Judith dedicated her life to her family, contributing immensely to their successful careers and happy lives.

 

We will all miss her more than we can say.
