Judy and Richard met in college at Auburn University. The love of Auburn was passed to their children
and grandchildren (War Eagle!). Judy was a loving, supportive mother and grandmother and a kind,
caring friend. Always the gracious host, she opened her house to friends and neighbors, and was always
willing to offer her many talents of flower arranging and preparing delicious foods.
A life-time resident of Pell City, Alabama, she readily offered her willing hands to further the
development of the community. As such, she recently joined the team to work on the Museum of Pell
City to preserve the history for future generations. Please consider a donation to the Museum of Pell
City in her memory. Museum of Pell City, PO Box 129, Pell City 35125, or online at
