Judy was a veteran of the U.S. Air Force reserves. She had many jobs throughout her full life and was known by many titles, but her favorite was mom and grandma. She loved more than anything attending every game, competition, concert, and program. You could always count on her to be in the crowd wearing a picture button of whomever she was cheering on. She enjoyed reading and watching crime fiction and documentaries. You could find her spending time with her family or sitting on the porch when the weather was nice.
Judy touched many lives and will be missed deeply by all.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Lewis & Gillum Funeral Home of Jackson. Private memorial services will be held at a later date. Online condolences may be sent to www.lewisgillum.com.
