Judi was a beloved mother, grandmother, church member and friend. She loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ first of all. Not only were her family important to her but also her church family and friends were very important. She learned early on as an only child that outside friends were called, “framily” to her.

In December, 2008, she retired from S&ME, Inc. in Charlotte, NC. During her 50-year career as an office professional, her employers included Clemson University, Extension Service, Laurens, SC; First Baptist Church, Rock Hill, SC, Homeowners Marketing, Fort Mill, SC and Motor Racing Outreach Concord, NC, the ministry to the racing community.

As a member of Fort Mill Church of God, she served as office Volunteer and greeter as well as leader for the Shepherd Group, “Fellowshipping Together.” Her community service included working as a receptionist for the American Red Cross, and she was a former member of Central Church of God, Charlotte, NC.

She considered herself a “Beach Bum” at heart even though she had only lived near the ocean in Little River, SC, for only a short time. A memorial service will be held to celebrate her life at Fort Mill Church of God Chapel on Academy Street in Fort Mill, SC on April 13, 2024 at 11:00 AM. Per her request, the family would like to invite anyone who had a relationship with her to speak of their relationship at the Memorial Service.
