Judy was a lifelong resident of Blue Jay, WV. She devoted her life to caring for her family. In her free time she enjoyed reading, particularly mystery novels and westerns. She also wrote poetry and enjoyed word search puzzles. Often she would be found watching her favorite television series, namely "Dark Shadows" and "Days of Our Lives." Judy loved anything Elvis and had a wonderful sense of humor. Above all, she was a fierce proponent for her family and generous to a fault. She was a devout Christian and loved Jesus beyond all else and was a lifetime member of Glen Morgan Missionary Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School and helped in the kitchen. Judy was a prayer warrior and anyone she encountered would receive a good dose of prayer. She loved reading the Bible, particularly the book of James.

A celebration of Judy's life will take place at the Gospel Chapel on Saturday, May 24.
The Gospel Chapel is located on C & O Dam Road in Daniels, WV, with Pastor Luke Richmond officiating. Visitation will be from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.with the service beginning at 3 p.m.

The family wished to recognize the outstanding service provided by Hospice of West Virginia and the loving care provided by her daughter, Lenissa Lykins, who went over and above the call of duty to care for her Momma.


Judy's favorite verse was Psalm 91:1. "He that dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty." And there she now abides.
