Born on November 12, 1953, in the Dodson Branch Community of Jackson County, Tennessee, she was a woman of remarkable dedication and kindness.
Recently retired from Aphena, where she devoted over 20 years of service, Judy was widely respected for her hardworking nature and her commitment to performing tasks with a sense of duty and care.

Judy had a variety of interests that brought her joy and fulfillment. She had a passion for gardening, often nurturing plants with patience and love. With a talent for baking, she became known for her delightful cakes that her friends and family enjoyed. Additionally, Judy found pleasure in hosting yard sales and working in her yard. An animal lover at heart, she often took in stray animals for rehabilitation, frequently keeping them as cherished pets.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 49 years, Floyd Germain; their son and daughter-in-law, Justin and Kelli Germain; her brothers, Leroy Green and Bobby Green (Tina); her sister, Barbara Harris; and her grandson, Camden Germain. Judy's legacy will continue to live on through her family, who hold dear the memories of her unwavering love and support.
