Judith spent over 40 years in the grocery business. She worked at several grocery stores throughout her career, but retired as the store manager from Save-A-Lot in Anniston.
She will be remembered for her devotion to her family, and most of all, her love for Jesus Christ. Judith was a member of FBC Eagle Point in Jacksonville, AL. She was generous, loved sharing her faith, and the Gospel of Jesus with others. She believed that accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior was the most important decision a person can make.
Judith also enjoyed reading, watching movies, her cats, and spending time with family.
