Judy Mackey Obituary
1943 - 2020
The world is a little less bright today, as we lost one if it's shining stars. Judy Mackey of Westerville, Ohio entered the kingdom of heaven on Sunday, April 19th, 2020. Judy was born in Augusta, GA on October 25, 1943 to Hazel and Kermit Squire. A great beauty inside and out, Judy was selfless in giving of herself to her friends, family and community. She was a leader in business at Bloomberg Eye Center, education through Ohio PTA, ministry as a Stephen Minister, and volunteer through Licking Memorial Hospital Twig 8 Gift Shop as well as numerous other volunteer organizations. Judy is survived by her husband, George Mackey of Westerville, OH; daughter, Kristen Marvin (Claire) of Westerville, OH; son, Scott Mackey (Rachel) of Ft Worth, TX; granddaughter, Madison Ryan of Westerville, Ohio; grandson, Connor Ryan of San Diego, CA; grandson, Ian Mackey of Ft Worth, TX; grandson, Xander Mackey of Ft Worth, TX; sister, Sharon (Greg) Hodge of Traverse City, MI; and sister, Glenda (Martin) Lee of Levant, ME. She is preceded in death by Mother Hazel (Sherwood) Squire of Traverse City, MI, father Kermit Squire of Midland, MI, and sister Wanda Squire of Anoka, MN. Judy will be laid to rest in a private burial on Thursday, April 23, 2020. A beautiful memorial and celebration of life will follow for her abundant family and friends once we may all safely gather again. Contributions may be made in Judy's honor to Central College Presbyterian Church, 975 S. Sunbury Rd., Westerville, Ohio 43081. Remembrances can be shared at wwwHillFuneral.com.

I met Judy through volunteering with the Licking Memorial Hospital TWIGS 8 gift shop. She was very well respected and relied upon for her business acumen and knowledge of the proper way to conduct a business meeting. Her personal efforts and presence will be missed.

Judy will be greatly missed! I had the privilege of working with Judy at the Bloomberg Eye Center where her countless acts of kindness, and her willingness to go out of her way for others, was in full display. She always put a smile on my face and her memories I will cherish forever. Sending prayers for healing, to her loving husband George, daughter Kristen, and her son Scott, as well as all her family and many friends.

I was always touched by her sweet random acts of kindness. A telephone call when you needed it. A note to cheer you. The doorbell when you least expected it and found "that smile" was what you needed! My life was blessed by having known her. Rest in peace my friend.
