pipe band community hard.

Booth had several friends who played drums and pipes across the region.

Performance to pay tribute

She was also heavily involved in her community.

Now, that community hopes to give back to her family by organizing a send-off for her funeral on Saturday.

Four pipe bands, including the Sons of Scotland, the Ottawa Police Service, the RCMP and the Ottawa Highlanders plan to come together to perform at her funeral.

"I think just showing the family that we want to come out and do this tribute for her on Saturday will hopefully mean something to them," Hampson said.

Brad Hampson, member of the RCMP Pipes and Drums National Division, says Judy Booth will be remembered fondly. 0:54

Pipe bands typically play at funerals to honour fallen servicepeople, such as police and firefighters.

Butthe bands also want to honour one of their own.

Hampson believes it's a send-off she would have wanted and he hopes to play her favorite tune Itchy Fingers on the pipes.

Other victim's funeral planned

Booth's close friends from work are also feeling her loss.

Daniel Mongeon worked with her at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for several years and they stayed in touch.

He'll remember her as his "work mom," someone who always took care of others.
