Her education began in Magnolia and was a graduate of Magnolia High School. She continued her education at the Southern University of Arkansas. Much of her career years were with ALCOA. She attended Antioch West Baptist Church in Magnolia, AR. Her faith in the Lord was strong, and now that she is in the presence of the Lord, we will find comfort in knowing that we will see her again one day. Judy had a personality that brought light, laughter and comfort to those around her. Her love for her husband, children, grandchildren, and family was unconditional and joyful. Judy’s grandchildren have shared a memory of her that is special to them. “Every time I went to Nay Nay’s house, she would have popsicles just for me.” ~ Bliss “She had a lot of candy. She had a four wheeler. She was nice. She gave food to us. She gave us memories.” ~ Aiden “Always used to have cookies and candy. Always use to buy amazing Christmas presents. Always text me on my first day of school. She always said I was driving WAY too fast on the four wheeler. Always brought gingerbread men from Magnolia Bakery.” ~ Reed “My favorite memory of Nay Nay was when I would come down for any holiday and the first thing she would say is “I have Gingerbread Men.” She always cared about everyone else first, before herself. She was the sweetest woman you would ever meet.” ~ Justin “When I think of Nay Nay, I think of all the memories I had with her. I think of all the times I would go to her house and she would always be so loving and caring. I remember how she would cook too much food so we would have to bring some home with us every time. I know Nay Nay isn’t here anymore but that doesn’t mean we can’t remember all of the good times with her.” ~ Mack “From the moment we met Judy, she embraced us like we were her own. She was the most kind and welcoming host. She always took the best care of us when we could come stay and encouraged us in everything we did. She made every moment more fun and every holiday sweeter. We are grateful for all of the memories we got to share with her. Most of all we are grateful for the joy she brought our Grandaddy. We love you and miss you already.” ~ Blaire, Dakota, Brooke, Connor, and Blake. Her parents Mack Reed Christian, Elizabeth (Betty) Ann Christian Keith and David Keith preceded her passing.
