YULE, Judith (nee Butt),
Judith was born 17 May 1935, and died peacefully at Hastings Hospital Thursday 4 September 2025, aged 90, surrounded by her children Chris, Ralph, Mike, Kath and Nigel.
Hawke’s Bay Founders Branch was formed in 1979. Prior to her death, Judith was the last living “founding member”. Her ancestor, James Haldane Watt, arrived in Auckland in 1842.
Judith regularly attended Branch functions, and had the honour of cutting the Branch Anniversary cakes on the 30th and 40th Anniversaries. She will most certainly be missed by Hawke’s Bay Branch members.
