Judith Young Obituary

Judith "Judy" Ann McMahan Young

Judith "Judy" Ann McMahan Young was received into heaven on Saturday, September 12, 2020 at her home in Spring City, Tennessee at the age of 74.

Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, Judy was a graduate of South High School. She excelled in business as an administrative assistant. Judy was an accomplished pianist and vocalist who served faithfully with the Mount Paran Sanctuary and New Life Singers and the Walk to Emmaus community. She was a member of Mount Paran Church of God in Atlanta, Georgia. She was a warm, gracious hostess with an enormous gift of hospitality. Most importantly, Judy loved God and loved people. She exhibited the love of Christ in her generous spirit, compassionate heart and servant leadership. She was incredibly beautiful - inside and out. She made the ordinary feel extraordinarily beautiful for all whose lives she touched. A loving wife, mother, Nana, and friend who leaves behind a legacy of grace, joy, and Godliness.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Claude and Clara McMahan, and her brother, David Phillip McMahan.

She is survived by her husband of 51 years, Kenneth Young, of Spring City, Tennessee and formerly Acworth, Georgia; her daughters Kristin (Jerry) Kight of Spring Hill, Tennessee and Wendy (John) McKinnon of Acworth, Georgia. The loves of her life were her grandchildren Rachel and Trevor Kight and Samuel McKinnon.

The family will receive friends from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 10, 2020 in the North Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home, 5401 Highway 153 Hixson, Tennessee 37343.
