Judy Ann Crow, age 69, of Mt. Airy, Georgia, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, January 17, 2024.
Mrs. Crow was born December 11, 1954, in Habersham County, Georgia, to the late Lloyd Lawrence Frady and Emma Louise Frady. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband of 41 years, James Milton Crow, and brother, Calvin Frady.
Judy was a member of Mt. Bethel Community Church, where her faith in the Lord was a guiding light throughout her life. Judy dedicated over 20 years of her life in service to Mt. Vernon Mills, where she retired in 1999. After retirement, she continued to serve as a caregiver to senior members of the community, demonstrating her selfless nature and compassion for others. Judy had a zest for life and found joy in the simple pleasures. Her love for gospel music resonated in the hearts of those around her, and she took delight in watching Hallmark movies and following the storyline of Days of Our Lives. An avid Georgia Bulldog fan, she cheered passionately for her team, bringing enthusiasm to every game. Judy was an excellent baker who specialized in holiday treats. Her peppermint candy and cranberry salad became cherished traditions among family and friends. Family was at the center of Judy’s heart, and she cherished the moments spent with her loved ones. Whether it was attending church services, supporting her Georgia Bulldogs, or baking together during the holidays, Judy’s love for her family was evident in every gesture. Her affection extended beyond her human family to her beloved fur babies, who were more than pets; they were her children. Judy’s nurturing spirit and boundless love created a home filled with warmth and laughter. Judy will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, sister, and “Tootie.” Her legacy of love, kindness, and joy will continue to inspire those who had the privilege of knowing her.
