Judith Amelia Knowles, 81, passed peacefully on the morning of February 23, 2020, in Demorest, Georgia.
Born in Lanett, Alabama, she was the daughter of the late Nadine and Hugh Knowles. She was a passionate elementary school teacher that taught K-12 before retiring after 40 years. Her joys in life were her family, helping others, fishing, crabbing and let’s not forget those cryptograms. She also enjoyed traveling and exploring new places.
In addition to her parents, Judy was preceded in death by her brother, John E. Knowles.
She is survived by her daughter, Janice A. Mullins, and 2 granddaughters, Abigale and Morgan Mullins, all of Demorest, Georgia. She is also survived by her sister, Susan K. Daniel, and several nieces and nephews.
