Judith Lee Cole Beyer, Age 80, of St. Louis, Missouri, passed away on November 20, 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee. Born on November 3, 1945, Judith dedicated her life to education and family. She spent her career as a mother and schoolteacher, shaping young minds and inspiring generations of students. After retiring, Judith embraced her passions for travel, gardening, and sewing, finding joy in creativity and exploration. She had a warm spot for all animals, especially dogs, often carrying treats in her pockets and waving to them from inside cars.

Judith was committed to her community and cherished time spent with friends and family. Known for her warmth and generosity, she touched the lives of many through her kindness and dedication.

She is survived by her children: Allison Hinds Clifft (Craig), Lance Hinds (Kerri), and Courtney Norman; and her grandchildren: Andrew Clifft (Emily), Catherine Clifft, Jackson Hinds, and Anderson Hinds.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Brian Keith Beyer; and her parents, Forest Elmo Cole and Catherine Forrest Street Cole.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 23, 2025, at 4:00 PM at Edgefield Church, 700 Russell Street, Nashville, Tennessee. In lieu of flowers or gifts, please make donations to the Lewy Body Dementia Resource Center.
