Judy Hunter Teague
Judy Hunter Teague was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. She never met her fraternal grandmother, Elizabeth Helen Taylor, as she died of cancer before she was born. In 2011 she rummaged through a box of old photographs and memorabilia from her family and began her journey into getting to know her ancestors. The story of her great aunt, Annie Taylor Tenning, is one of many she has uncovered.
This 72-year-old grandmother loves her iPad, soccer, sudoku, challenges, animals, discoveries, nature, and family.

Her survival has given her thankfulness and some new perspectives.
