The Mitchell family are neighbors to Ms Judy. We enjoyed her warm personality and friendly spirit. I'm Tommie and I was her handyman, lawn man and whatever she needed. Simone would often cook a little extra for Ms Judy and our boys would make sure she trash can was pulled to the street. Christ said that we should love our neighbors - that's how we were toward each other.
Ms Judy we miss you!
Tommie and Simone Mitchell
Judy was such a special person. I am so glad I had the pleasure of working with her and getting to know her over almost 10 years. It was always great to spend time talking with her about this and that…lamenting the state of Auburn football for her or the Falcons for me. It was great to see her shine running our toastmasters club. She will be dearly missed. Rest well Judy.
My condolences to you and your family. Keeping you all lifted in prayer. I will always remember Ms. Judy as every time I would see her in the morning, I would make sure to say good morning Ms. Judy and ask how she was doing. She was very kind and always brought a smile to my face.
My family and I are going to miss Judy so much!! Judy was my best friend, a colleague for 10 years, my partner in crime in all the fun we had and most importantly, she was family. She was "Aunt Judy" to my kids, a dear friend to my husband and family and we celebrated our every work anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas together. She has been involved in the life of my kids since they were 2 weeks old and has even helped name them. She was the VIP guest at my home for my kids birthdays and Christmas. We exchanged gifts and spent time like family. She has filled the house with her music related gifts to the kids, as she used to be a music teacher. She loved the kids so much and they loved her back adoringly. We Miss her So Much!!
Although its heart breaking to lose her, we are glad she doesn't have to suffer anymore to Cancer and she is at peace with Jesus. May her soul rest in Peace!!
My heartfelt gratitude to Jan Davis (Friend), Kathleen McCutcheon Claybrook (Sister In Law) and Lisa Morris (friend) who have been "Judy's Angels" and have taken care of her during her struggle with Cancer.
I had the pleasure of working with Judy for the last 6 years at Fulton County Schools on the Employee Wellness Committee where she served as one of the Co-Chairs. Judy was committed and dedicated to helping bring wellness activities to employees. I enjoyed working with her on these endeavors and will always remember the great times we had planning, serving, and most importantly laughing and having fun! Judy made a difference in so many lives. I’m grateful for our friendship and blessed to have been part of her work family. My sincere condolences to the family. Judy will be missed.
Judy will be missed by so many co-workers and friends. May the work she's done, the life she's lived, the friends she's made and the hearts she has touched speak for a beautiful woman. I am so glad we became friends. I already miss her so much.❣️️
My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your loved one. May God give you the strength you need to get through this sad time. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to work with Judy over the years. I will miss her.
Judy's strength during her illness was a testimony for us all. She will be missed. My prayers go out to her family and friends.
I miss Judy. I miss her physical presence…the conversations…that little “hitch” in her laugh…the fun we enjoyed talking about and watching our favorite football teams after enjoying a spaghetti & meatball dinner (including seconds & dessert). She was passionate about the “War Eagles.” I will miss her at the Holley family Thanksgiving and other special events. She was family.
I miss the bike rides on the Silver Comet Trail…her determined, some might say “stubborn” spirit…her “I can do this” attitude…even when facing cancer, which in the end destroyed her body but not her spirit. I remember the last time we biked the SCT when she was physically unable to keep up. Yet she did…until we reached the turnaround. Realizing she was probably slowing Jan and me down, she insisted we head back…that she would be okay and would be behind us. Reluctantly we did. But, when Jan and I finished our ride, thinking we had left Judy far behind, we looked back to see her topping the final hill and coasting into the trailhead less than a minute behind us! That’s the “Judy” I will miss.
When I think of Judy no longer in pain and being physically present with us, I think of the eternity that lies ahead for all of us know the Lord. It reminds me of Elmer Cole’s great song, ”Ten Thousand Years.”
The battle’s over…the victory is won…ten thousand years…and she’s just begun! She has ‘topped the final hill’ and is at rest…she’s Home. I will miss her…until then.
