In Loving Memory of Judy Hardy

Judith “Judy” Ann Hardy, a loving mother and granny, passed away on November 12, 2023, at the age of 80. She was born on April 16, 1943, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Judith brought joy and love to everyone she knew throughout her incredible life.

Judy loved her family and thought they were her greatest blessing in life. She attended Ebenezer Baptist Church in Dallas, Georgia where she loved to worship and praise the Lord. In her professional life, she was a Bus Driver for the Cobb County School System for over 14 years, where she was able to make a positive impact on the lives of countless children.

Judy’s vibrant spirit delighted in seeking thrills and embarking on new adventures. Whether it was discovering new places through travel, gardening, or finding solace in her favorite music, she lived with an undeniable zest for life.

Above all else, family was the foundation of Judy’s life. She took great pride in her role as the family matriarch, ensuring that love and support were always present. Her children and their spouses were her greatest joy, and she treasured each and every moment spent with her adored grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
