ForeverMissed

This memorial website was created in memory of Judith Bell (who also wrote as Judith Wilson), 35, born on July 29, 1978 and passed away on April 22, 2014.

There are so many memories that we all share of Judith. She was bright, sassy and incredibly funny. Her sharp sense of humour and razor sharp wit often had us all in stitches with just a few lines in an email!

Judith has always been a passionate and active campaigner for animal welfare, conservation and human rights. Wherever she lived in the world she actively participated in voluntary work which was either practical, like planting trees in the rainforest in Ecuador, or to raise awareness of important issues through campaigns and petitions. Most recently Judith has been an active member of Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and Amnesty International.

Judith was a gifted writer and had established a career as freelance writer with clients all over the world. She was also part of a global network of writers who not only shared ideas, discussions and supported each other but who had become some of her closest and much loved friends.

Before building a career as a writer Judith had trained as an English Teacher and spend many years teaching English as a foreign language in Poland, Greece, Singapore and Ecuador. Judith particularly fell in love with the people and the wildlife of Ecaudor, which is rich in all kinds of amazing birds, animals and amphibians and of course close to the Galapogas Islands. Whilst living there she devoted alot of time doing conservation work.

As well as spending time writing, doing volunteer work and looking after her much loved pets Judith had almost finished an open university degree in Marine Science which was another of her great passions.

Despite leaving us all far, far too soon Judith lived a full life and has left the world a much richer place for being part of it. But we will all miss her hugely.

It doesn't feel like 10 years, Judith. Funny how we knew eachother only through work, but you are still thought of occasionally when I see something well-written, articles on the environment, or rabbit food.

I was terribly sorry to find out about Judith’s passing here yesterday. My friend Robert and I knew Judith in the early 2000s and he dated her for a while. Unfortunately Robert died of a stroke in 2018. We all thoroughly enjoyed being around Judith with her good fun attitude and wry sense of humour. My condolences go out to her family.

So, its 2022 and the world moves on. You'd be horrified at the price of rabbit food now and, frankly, with most things from the government through to Brexit - a word you didnt even live to hear.

You arent forgotten yet :-)

I just did the math and realized it's been nearly 8 years. So hard to believe, even today; I still remember her rapier - like sense of humor and the kindness she once showed to an old man and a fellow writer. She's well worth remembering everyday, if not every year.

Hey Judith,

So the planet is taking it's revenge at last, and the wildlife is enjoying a little peace and tranquility. Not a good time to be a human of course, but there's a positive side to everything, as I'm sure you'd have reminded us! Oh and the AP Stylebook people... STILL trying to get me to buy a copy :-)

JJB,

I cannot believe it's been five years since you left us. I still miss our verbal jousts and inside jokes. No one I've met since has come close to matching you in sarcasm, wit or humor. I've been keeping an eye on the environment for you. <3

I still think of you often, Judith, especially when doing Greenpeace activities. I think you would approve of the extended Dundee group now, and all the things we get up to! Just such a pity you can't be joining us ...

We still miss you every day Judith. And I am so very very sorry that you won’t meet your nieces and nephew, I think they would really make you laugh with their antics! Love you. ❤️❤️❤️

So ... you would have been a crone of 40. How I would have loved to tease you about that. even knowing that you would have reminded me of my own age! I miss you. Always will. <3

Well, harpy,
Time does NOT heal all wounds. I still miss your foul temper, mouth and attitude as much as I did when you first left us. Keep an eye on Bradberry for us. No fighting. Love you.

I had a nagging feeling that it was three years since you suddenly left us- and I find that I'm two months early. Still missing your pithy sense of humour and helping you when you were grappling with geology for your course. You aren't forgotten,girl.

We still miss you everyday Judith. But I know you would be happy to know that Wendell is still a content and happy bunny. Although he is a very cheeky bunny and not sure Flora would say he was very gentlemanly but they are very happy together. Xxxx

I can't believe it's now been a year without you Judith. We still miss you dreadfully and think about you every day. Sending you loving thoughts wherever you are, you are still missed beyond what words can express.

However I do know that you would be very happy to see what a happy bunny Wendell is and how well he has settled in with us and his devoted girlfriend, Flora!

I don't think I realized she left us on Earth Day. Seems like more than just a sad coincidence. I know she's protecting the defenseless from wherever her soul and spirit are now. I just so wish she was still doing that here with us. I miss you Judith and I'll always regret not chatting with you more when I had the chance. Rest peacefully and thank you for making this world a better place.

Even when I was at my saddest, Judith could always make me laugh. Shine on, beautiful scribe!

I still, after three months, wake up with the thought that you'll have left some particularly interesting (or more likely, biting) message for me. I also continue to post stuff on your page ... and always will. And Kathy's right ... it's not the same without you here. I miss you, my little Scottish harpy. But you know that.

I'm writing this on the 4th of July in the US and I can almost "hear" Judith telling all of us Americans to get over ourselves. Truth is, I think of you often Judith and I miss you very much. Our online writing community isn't the same without you. And I can't be sure, but I don't think Sue McCarty is quite as snarky without you to spar against. ;)

It's been nearly three months since we last chatted and every now and again, I still look up to see if I can spot you online. I miss you every day, Twig-Eater.

Judith, I miss all your support with the Greenpeace group, and our endless chats about little furry animals! I miss your humour, incisive comments, and your passion for environmental justice. May you rest in peace in a better place, xx

It's too easy to imagine the world a little colder and darker without her, and hard to remember she left the planet a bit warmer, brighter and safer than it was before she drifted through our lives. Nevertheless, she did and it is.

My life is far less enriched since losing my colleague, my friend and confidante and my partner in some truly hideous, but very funny exchanges. I'll always miss you, JJB.

I think of Judith often, with humour and now with sadness, eventually again it will be with humour. I will never forget her.

I will always miss my beautiful, clever, kind and incredibly funny big sister. All my love. Sylvia xxxx

Judith's coffeecake recipe

May 20, 2014

A typical jokey forum post by Judith ... I *swear* Sylvia says this is OK to post here .....

JUDITH'S COFFEECAKE RECIPE:

Here's my never-fail coffeecake recipe. Your friends will be *astonished*! I hate blowing my own trumpet but this is really out of the world. Slightly adapted from a family recipe handed down from grandmother to grand-daughter for generations, and usually kept a CLOSELY guarded secret!!! OK, here goes:

2 pounds cake
1/2 pound coffee
2 pounds sugar
8 Valium pills, crushed
2 pints brandy
1/2 ounce cocaine
Assorted tranquilizers from the village vet, grated

Mix ingredients together in a bowl
Bake for 30 minutes at 200 degrees C (editor, please translate to F, I'm pretending to be from Alabama)
Remove from oven and consume!!!!!
