With great sadness and deep love, we share that Judith Williams, 58, of Bridgeton, passed away on July 11, 2025, after a courageous and unwavering battle with cancer. She faced every moment with strength, hope and grace; never losing her warm spirit or the love she gave so freely to those around her.
Born on December 2, 1966, Judy was a devoted mother, grandmother and friend. She is survived by; her daughter, Megan Keener; her son, Richard Keener, Jr. (lovingly known as Bubba) and his girlfriend Brittney. She was also the proud and adoring grandmother of Gabryella Keener - her sunshine, her joy and the one she loved spoiling most.
Judy spent much of her life working as a driver with Sheppard Bus Service, where she found great purpose in caring for the special needs children she transported each day. Her compassion and kindness left a lasting impact on the lives of many families and coworkers.
In more recent years, Judy found a second home with the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 2127, where she formed close friendships and shared many meaningful memories. Her presence brought warmth, laughter and comfort to everyone she met.
Judy was known for her resilience, her big heart and her unwavering loyalty to the people she loved. Her legacy will live on through the lives she touched and the love she gave without hesitation.
She was preceded in death by; her loving parents, John and Loretta Williams; her dear brothers, John Williams II (Debbie) and Thomas Williams; and her former husband, Richard Keener, Sr.
She is survived by; her beloved siblings, Roger, Dolores (Robert), Violet (Raymond) and Patricia, as well as many loving nieces and nephews who brought her immense joy and pride. Judy cherished her family deeply and held them close to her heart always.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to Judy's beloved niece Tara, her devoted sister, Dee Dee( Oink) and her dear friend Barbara, whose unwavering love, support and care brought comfort and peace to Judith during her final weeks. Their kindness and compassion were a true blessing and their presence was a beautiful reminder of the deep connections that meant so much to her.
Though we will miss her deeply, we find peace in knowing she's at rest - and probably still keeping everyone in line, just like she always did.
Lovingly Submitted, The Family
