Judy Compton Hoff
July 15th, 2021
It is with great sorrow and sadness we share the sudden, peaceful passing of Judy Compton Hoff (Smith). Judy was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan, and passed away peacefully at the Pasqua Hospital on July 15, 2021.
Judy was predeceased by her parents, Maxine and Bruce Smith. She is survived by her loving husband of nearly 44 years, Ken Hoff; son Sean Hoff (Kristen); daughter Christine Collins (Michael); and grandson Owen Collins, who she dearly treasured.
Judy loved her family with everything she had. She will be greatly missed by her twin sister Jane Neald (Dana); twin sisters Linda Yeo (Peter) and Laurie Leibel (Don); her multiple nieces, nephews, and cousins; and her extended family.
Judy was passionate about her family, her career, traveling, and golfing. She spent her leisure time planning her next adventure, always being open to wherever that may lead her. She was a warm, loving, outgoing, and giving woman who brought joy into a lot of lives. She was always there to help or listen and did everything in her power to make things better. She gave so much and we all loved her for it dearly.
A Private Celebration of Life will be held for Judy.
The family wishes to thank the staff at the Regina Pasqua Hospital for their care, compassion, kindness, and respect during her brief stay.
In lieu of flowers and gifts, please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society in Judy’s memory at www.cancer.ca

So sorry to hear Judy has left us. She was a great colleague and a source of knowledge in the blood-banking field. I relied on her many times and she gave me great answers that a biochemist could understand. Ken and Judy were great neighbors when we lived in New Albert Park in Regina. Ernie & Carol Serediak
Ken and family: My sincere sympathy on the passing of your dear Judy. She was an inspiration to Transfusion folks everywhere. I enjoyed spending time with her at various conferences and she was always willing to share her knowledge and wisdom.
Ken, Christine, Sean and family, Our deepest sympathies to you. Judy was a great teacher and mentor. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about Transfusion Medicine. Judy never missed a soccer game or tournament for Christine or Sean. We had the pleasure of sitting on the sidelines enjoying the game and the company. Judy was very proud of her family. Please find solace in your memories of her. Thinking of you, Cathy and Cliff Christopherson
Deepest condolences to Jane, Ken, Linda and Laurie. What a striking resemblance at a similar age to her maternal grandmother Marion Compton. I do remember our last coffee together when in Regina many years ago and her great pride at the accomplishments of Christine and Sean. Thinking of you all, especially today, July 24th which would have been her 64th birthday. Leslie

I was very sorry to hear the sad news. I had the opportunity to work with Judy on the CBS Blood file where her enthusiasm and practicality was most welcome.

She will be missed by her many friends and colleagues. My sincerest condolences to Ken and her family members.
