Judy was born on June 6, 1940, in Fillmore, Missouri, to Maurice and Cleytus Lemmon. She graduated from Fillmore High School in 1958 and married John E. Davis on April 9, 1959. Their marriage stood as a beautiful model of strength, character, and quiet love for their family and all who knew them.

Judy was the heart of her family-the true matriarch. She poured her whole heart into caring for those she loved: her parents, husband, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. A quiet artist, she explored many creative outlets throughout her life, including sewing, painting, weaving, quilting, and crochet.

She cherished each day God gave her and found deep peace in listening to old hymns, Bible verses, and simply being close to her family.

Judy is survived by her daughters, Deborah Derry, Teresa (Dale) Smith, and Melanie (Mike) Kidder; her grandchildren, Dustin and Cassie Ware, John Noah Paul, Kyle and Sam Kidder, and Andrew Smith; and her great-grandchildren, Siddalee, McKynzie, Toby, Rhyland, and Noah.
