Julia Burgess Obituary

Burgess
Julia Ann Williams Burgess, of Covington, passed away Sunday, June 9, 2019, at the age of 58.
There are many words that come to mind when describing Julia - happy, kind, fun-loving, fair-minded, tenacious, inspiring and giving.
She was a firm believer in her faith and put God above all else. For 38 years, she was an attentive wife and best friend to her husband, Wilson. Her favorite space was her kitchen and cooking homemade meals and desserts was one of her greatest passions. Julia's well-rounded personality and genuine demeanor made a lasting impression on everyone and she will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, C.B. and Julia (Williams) Williams and her sister, Bonnie Williams.
Left to cherish her memory is her husband, Wilson Burgess, Jr.; daughter and son-in-law, Brittany and Tim Grant; sons and daughter-in-law, Wilson Burgess, III, Theodist and Tiffany Terrell; grandchildren, Bryson Burgess, King Grant, Kali Grant, Justin Terrell, Antonio Jackson, Aiden Terrell; sisters and brothers-in-law, Annette and Andy Long, Kathy and Wayne Scott, Deborah and Anthony Lovelace; brothers, Stanley Williams, Donald Williams; nieces and nephews, Carla Potts, Wendy Scott, Ray Torrence, Roy Torrence, Rikki Holman, Tawanda McCray; mother-in-law, Virginia Dockery, brother-in-law, William Burgess; as well as a host of extended family members.

My good, good friend Judy,,I miss you so much lady. The places you and I used to visit as we worked together now bring tears to my eyes and a smile as I remember all those good times we shared. I surely wish you were still here with us, but God wanted you to be with him, free of all pains. The last pictures and the last messages we sent to each other are still locked in my phone where I can always see my friend smiling. I love you my friend and I miss you dearly.. continue to rest in heaven.❤

Judy, God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be,so He put His arms around you and whispered "Come to Me". I will miss you my friend. I love you but God loved you more. Our wonderful testimonies about the goodness and faithfulness of God will be remembered always along with our favorite "Won't He do it". My condolences to the family. She loved you all so much. She was so proud of all of you. She was a beautiful spirit and her light will always shine in all who knew her. A golden heart stopped beating. Hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us. He only takes the very best.

My deepest most sincere condolences go out to this family, may God shower you all with the strength to carry on. The day I met Judy we instantly became friends, she taught me so much in our field of work. Judy and I worked so very well together, we had so much fun. After Judy became ill, we would text each other often but, I didn't want to see her down. I wanted to and will remember my friend with a huge smile on her face. I love you lady and you are missed right now. Go on my friend and Rest in Heaven.
