Heaven gained a true angel last night when God called Judy home!!!
I am so sad, knowing that I won’t see her smiling face, and our conversations about everything! I was truly blessed to have known her, and to have her friendship!
My Thoughts and Prayers are with all of her family as they go through this sad time❤️
Oh how I will miss you Judy we have worked closely for the last 5 years. My days won’t be the same . I will miss the great conversations we had! And a lot of laughs! Fly high Babe! You always told me you were ready when the good lord was. Dance in the sky sweetheart!
Judy, Judy, Judy… what an honor it was to be your friend. A wonderful, strong, beautiful soul. Your smile lit up a room. Thank you so much for being you. Until will meet again. Love you
Condolences to your family and everyone who loved you.
Good memories of Judy as a classmate at F.C.H.S and class of 1970. Considered her as good friend. And enjoyed seeing and talking to her at our reunions. Sad we missed our 50th reunion last year. Several classmates gone since our last one. I am sure they are waiting and rejoicing for the rest of us to join them. May they all R.I.P.
Judy was a classmate and a good friend. I was so glad to see her again at our last Class Reuiom! Sweet, dear Judy!
Judy was a very special friend and I have enjoyed our friendship over the years. I have way to many memories as a member of the class of 1970. The last time we talked the discussion came up about all the times I got her in trouble in Mrs. Martin’s algebra class. Our sympathy and prayers go to the family. May God give you all strength and peace for the days ahead.
Comment continued: I believe we went as far back as the 1st grade. So hard to keep track of where and when one meets others.
James and I were so sorry to hear this news. Judy was a good friend to both of us. As a matter fact she introduced me to James while we were in high school and we have been married 51 years. It was a great match. I saw her last class reunion for five years ago and it was if we just picked up where we left off. Prayers and thoughts for the family and for all her special friends who knew her best. James & Connie
Judy’s family and mine have known each other for a few generations. I spent many wonderful times at their home as a child and of course all the times at church we attended. I have so many childhood memories that include Judy. She was one of my best friends growing up. I will miss her but I celebrate her life. Fly high my friend and when you are through hugging your family and Jesus how about hugging mine.
My sincere and heartfelt condolences to Elsie, Betty, Martha, Sandy and all her family. She will be missed.
So sorry to hear about this. While I have not seen Judy in many, many years, I have memories of Clarkes Creek Baptist Church where we went to church when my dad, Rev. J.W. Stowe was pastor. The Chastain Family was one of the families that we would share Sunday lunch at their home. Lots of fond memories. Prayers for peace and comfort. I have lost two of my siblings so I can relate.
