Judy Lewis Obituary
We gather here today to remember and celebrate the life of Judy Lewis, born on November 8, 1946, to Jeff Coach and Ruth Chase Brannon. Judy was a hardworking woman, known for owning multiple small businesses in Gladewater, Texas, including Guys and Dolls Beauty Shop and The Cut Ups. She also dedicated her time to working as an admin in an assisted living / healthcare facility.
Judy found solace in her faith and often attended worship at Abundant Life when she could. She was a devoted wife to her beloved husband, Jerry Lewis, and a loving mother and homemaker. Judy's family meant everything to her, and she leaves behind her daughter, Tina McKinley Dunlap, grandsons Brandon McKinley and spouse Martha Kell and Jarrod McKinley and spouse Raquel; and great-grandchildren, Carlyle McKinley, Vivian McKinley, Eli McKinley, Jack McKinley and Archie McKinley.
Preceded in death by her father, Jeff Coach, mother, Ruth Brannon, step-father Grady Brannon, and brothers David Coach and Larry Coach, Judy's memory will forever be cherished by those who knew her.
A visitation memorial service to honor Judy's life will be held at Croley Funeral Home in Gladewater, Texas on June 1, 2024, at 1:00 pm. It is here that friends and family will come together to share stories, offer comfort, and reminisce about the impact Judy had on their lives.
May we find solace in the memories we shared with Judy and may her spirit continue to shine brightly in our hearts. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
