She was a special who went thru alot when her son was sick
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. I always enjoyed talking with Mrs. Judy whenever she was at the Corrie House. She was a really nice lady.
So sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. We remember her willingness to help in any way. May God bless and comfort you.
Judy will be missed by many who came to know her in her role at the college as a loyal conscientious professional with a positive demeanor and as a supportive contributor. She was cheerful and cooperative with a sense of pride in her accomplishments and duty. Working with her was a pleasant rewarding experience because of her enthusiasm and general sense of purpose. She was an early employee and saw the college during it’s formative stages as it grew during her time fulfilling the role of a college in all respects.
It saddens me deeply to learn of the passing of our dear friend, Judy. She was always working to help anyone in need. Her kind heart made her a joy to know and work with. The world is a sadder place without her, but heaven is rejoicing.
Heaven has gained another angel. Judy was one of the sweetest ladies I had the honor to know. She loved her family and above all she was a faithful servant of the Lord. Have a Merry Christmas in heaven Judy with your loved ones gone before you.
I will miss my one of a kind friend! No one can replace her with her antics, jokes, laughter and fun. She made life very interesting because you never knew what to expect. You’re home now, rest. You will never be forgotten
Rest in peace Mrs. Judy. You were always a light at Williamsburg Tech and one of my favorite people to talk to while I was there. Your kindness was unmatched.
Working at Williamsburg Tech with Judy was such a pleasure. She was kind and thoughtful and helpful. May her memory be a blessing to you always. She was very proud of “her boys”!
Jim and I send you our sympathy and prayers
Ms. Judy
Thank.you for being a huge blessing in my life. Thank you for always believing in me and always being interested in my college classes.
Many prayers for the family. I got to know Mrs Judy when I taught at WTC. She always had a smile and would go out of her way to help you. She will be missed.
I was sorry to read of Judy’s death. I knew her while I worked at Williamsburg Technical College (1976-1994). She was always kind to me and others. Mary (Tompkins) Latif, Gallatin Gateway, MT
Sending thoughts and prayers to the Coker family. I have known Judy and the McKenzie family my entire life, but haven’t seen her in many years. So sorry to hear of her passing. She was a good person and a very smart woman. I know she will be missed.
Prayers are f comfort and peace. Sister Judy was a friend to all.
Our prayers of comfort and peace to the family. Sister Judy was a good friend to all.
A true child of God, Judy shared her faith through word and deed. She loved her family, her friends, her job, and the thousands of students she interacted with and helped. Her faith has become sight and she is hugging her two precious angel boys.
Chance sorry to hear about your mother , prayers to you and your family.
I am so sorry to hear that Judy has passed . She was one of the kindest most thoughtful people I know and will be missed by all who knew her. I worked with Judy for a number of years and if she thought you needed help she was there ready to assist with an open heart and a helping hand. She is truly one of God’s angels.
Chance, Mr Jerry,.Mr Keith and all if the Coker/McKenzie Family:
Sorry to learn of Mrs Judy’s passing. She was such a sweet lady who was always willing to help anyone who came into contact with her. Truly a God loving woman.
I am so sorry ..I thought the world of Mrs Judy …she was a good friend and such a sweet person ..she will be missed by all who know her !
It saddens me to read of Mrs. Judy’s passing. I met Mrs. Judy in 1993 at Tech. She was one of a few staff members that I had the privilege of making a genuine connection; from staff support to colleague but more importantly, as a friend. I dare not grace the halls without finding her and getting a hug that only she could give. But I’m grateful our friendship expanded beyond the walls of Tech. I truly loved (and will miss) our chance meetings in “the streets”. What would start out as a quick “Hi, how have you been” would always turn into an hour or more conversation in some random parking lot. It didn’t matter the topic(s) of our conversation, talking about the goodness of God was probably 90% of the conversation. I will truly miss you and forever love you Judy.
