December 10, 1951 - September 14, 2025
Judy Lee Shively Hill Stone, 73, of Virginia, passed away on September 14, 2025. She was born on December 10, 1951, in Wise County, Va., to the late Junior Lee Shively and Betty Minton Shively Hodges. She was also preceded in death by her daughter, Tina Hill; siblings, Marie Carol Hodges and Steven Lynn Hodges; and nephews, Freddie Wayne Shively Jr., and Garon Ray Bowels.
Judy is survived by her son, Jamie Hill Jr. and his wife, Kristie; grandchildren, Kayla Nichols and husband, Mike, and Jeffrey Hill; and great-grandson, Braden Hill. Also surviving are her sisters, Faye Shively Curren, Trish Shively Tincher and husband, Gary, and Betty Saunders; brothers, Freddie Shively Sr., Raymond Shively and wife, Lynn, James Shively, and Kenneth Shively and wife, Tommie. She is also survived by many uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family who she loved dearly. Special survivors include her best friend, Sue Morris, and Anthony Burnette, who was like a son to her.
Judy was a wonderful woman who never met a stranger. She enjoyed watching movies, CSI, and Criminal Minds. She loved talking about the Bible and listening to Jimmy Swaggart. She was always ready for a game of rummy, and she cherished time spent with her family. Judy was a peacemaker at heart, and she had a deep and special love for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The family will receive friends on Friday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., at Lotz Funeral Home in Salem. A funeral service will follow at 12 p.m.
