Judy entered this life on June 17, 1945 in Hackberry to Bailey and Lucy Biter Yarbrough. She was a Christian and worked as an administrative assistant at the Social Security office.
Judy was a joyous spirit who was as vibrant as her favorite color, purple. She enjoyed horseback riding, golfing, and seeing the world with her loving husband, Franklin Ferrell. Together they lived in Houston, Baton Rouge, Chattanooga, and elsewhere, always staying active in the church community. They eventually settled down back in Hackberry where they built their home, close to the family and friends that meant so much to them.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Bailey and Lucy, her husband Frank, and her sister Gladys Sue Byrd.
Survivors include her sister, Carolyn Farrell and her husband, Richard Farrell; nieces and nephews, Shanda Farrell, Allison Gengarella, Craig Byrd, and Jason Farrell.
Pallbearers will be Herbert Alan Jackson, Craig Byrd, Jason Farrell, David Newberry, John Kahle, Jerry Bush, and Bobby Smith.
Arrangements are in the care of McReynolds Nave & Larson Funeral.
