Jude Benson (26 Feb 1970 - 28 May 2026)

Dear Judith, thank you for being such a good friend, I will miss you, jkx

In memory of our dear friend and colleague Judith. You will always be part of the Bullivant family. All our love, Kerry & Claire

I never thought for a second that when I saw you at Croydon Crown Court with a sprained ankle what seems like yesterday that would be the last time. You brought joy into everyone's hearts. Rest in peace dear Jude.

Miss you Jude love Christina, Eleanor and Lucas, Sam, Zac xxx

Im so sad over the passing of Jude. I have been overwhelmed buy her kindness and support over the years. She showed me compassion and kindness at a time when she had her own journey to cope with.
I admire her strength and courage .
I will miss you dearly and our chats.
Will also miss doing your hair.
Rest in peace Jude.
Much luv

I only had the pleasure of knowing Judith over the last few years but I was honoured to be a colleague and a friend and that she trusted me to look after Millie on the times she and Paul got to go away. As a colleague she was always professional, approachable, efficient and amenable, a great advocate who had a passion for her work and the talent to match. As a friend she was witty, funny and just slightly competitive! I shall miss her smile, her laugh and her joy for life and I will treasure the fact I could call her a friend. My condolences to Paul, Hannah and James. Jude will be sorely missed but never forgotten

I am truly sad about the passing of Judith a dear friend and colleague. Judith brought not only dedication and professionalism to her work , but also warmth and kindness that touched everyone she worked with. Judith will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. My heartfelt condolences and thoughts are with Judith's family during this difficult time.

RIP beautiful Jude. You will be missed so much.

Dearest Jude,

I am so saddened to hear of your passing.

You will be missed hugely.

You were always, kind, considerate, fair and had a fantastic sense of humour despite the difficulties you faced.

I will always treasure those memories and when I saw you unexpectedly at the hospital having just given birth to baby James. That was a real special moment. We shared our baby stories for the last 17 years.

How I wish we had met up recently.

Rest in Peace beautiful Jude xx

Dear Judith – it was always fun working with you and you are remembered with great fondness by Melanie Krudy and others at GT Stewart Solicitors & Advocates.

Rest in peace 🙏❤️

Jude was someone I remember with great fondness from our days at Hill House. Although we lost touch over the years, I always admired her kindness, intelligence and quiet strength. I was deeply saddened to learn of her passing. My thoughts are with her family and friends as they mourn such a tremendous loss.

A loss deeply felt. You will always live as my inspiration and a true example of kindness and integrity. Condolences and love.

I was so very saddened to hear of Judith’s passing. Although we were not close in our adult years, my abiding memory of her goes back many decades to our time at Mickleham Hall. I can still vividly remember being good-naturedly teased by Judith and her brother, Jonathan, for my 'Mancunian' pronunciation of 'bath' compared to their 'barth.' It is a small, warm memory that has stayed with me all these years. Sending my deepest condolences to the whole family. Rest in peace, Judith

From the Foulds family. We send our deepest condolences and compassion to you and your family.

All the judiciary and the staff at Croydon Crown Court are so saddened by Jude’s passing. It was always a pleasure to have her in my courtroom. She will be sorely missed. X

Dear Jude, my lovely, kind and brave friend, I will so miss our walks with our crazy dogs. I am so sad I didn’t get to say goodbye, but so glad too that you will be laid to rest at the foot of the Surrey Hills so that I can pop in on you with Percy, then take you in spirit along the river to Brockham and the Grumpy Mole! God bless you Jude and may you rest in peace lovely lady.

I am so very saddened to read of Judith's passing and my thought are with her family. Rest in Peace Judith.

What a sad loss. Jude was an amazing woman, not a close friend and yet someone I admired and respected enormously for her intelligence and wisdom, but more importantly for her incredible sense of humour and brilliant attitude to life, with all the good and bad that that entailed.

Jude, I can still hear your voice and see your smile. I will miss you so much although I moved away and we haven't spoken for quite sometime. It's so hard to believe...You will always stay in my heart and thoughts, remembering your gentle soul, kind heart and open mind.

Jude, I will always remember your kindness and infinite passion for life. You were a fighter in so many different ways, an example to be admired for resilience and strength. I will miss you so much. With love xx

Our lessons were such a pleasure, and your kindness and warmth will always stay with me. I will miss you dearly. Mi mancherai tantissimo. ❤️

Cara Jude,

I am so touched that you wanted to learn my native language, Italian, with me until the very end. I am honoured to have met you, and I will always cherish the time we spent together.

Our lessons were such a pleasure, and your kindness, enthusiasm, and determination made every moment special. It was a joy to share my language and culture with you.

I will miss you so much. Mi mancherai tantissimo.

Con affetto,
Federica
