Judith Gary

Judith "Judy" Ann Gary, a beloved daughter, mother, sister, and friend, left us peacefully on January 13, 2026, at the age of 80. Born in Jennings, Louisiana, on May 18, 1945, Judith dedicated her life to her family and home, embodying the true spirit of a loving homemaker.

Judy was a woman of unwavering strength and kindness, whose life was marked by her deep love for her family. She cherished the years spent with her late husband, where they created a wealth of beautiful memories, often spent riding horses together under the Louisiana skies. Judith's warmth and compassion were felt by all who knew her, as she devoted her life to caring for her children and later, her cherished grandchildren.

She is survived by her daughters, Rhonda Gary and Charlotte (Michael) Granger; her son, Timothy (Vickie) Gary; her brothers, Kenneth (Hilda) Smith and Clayton (Melba) Smith; sister, Terri Smith Osborne; her sister-in-law, Regina Gary; her loving grandchildren, Nicole (Mark) Reed, Kyle Gaspard, Mallory (Kaleb Tomassi) Thibodeaux, Marina (Dillon) Delaney, Kendall (Jenna) Gary, Fallynn (Brennan) Norred, Kyle Guillory, Allie (Gregory Vidrine) Guillory, Brittany Guillory, Ty Gary, Lonna Gary, her great grandchildren, Rynlee, Tanner, Mia, Kamron, Brennah, Sadie, Wyatt, Avery, Harley Grace, Konner, Maverick, Rowel, Gus, Emma, Copen, Sophia, Fancee, Colton, Kason, Karsyn, Olivia, Charlee, Covin, Cullen, Maddox and Myles. Her legacy of love and devotion will forever remain in the hearts of her family and friends.
