Jeanie Judd

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jeanie Judd, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, who left this world on October 6, 2025, at the age of 66 in Georgia. Born on September 8, 1959, in New Jersey, Jeanie was a devoted member of her family and a passionate educator who touched the lives of many.

Jeanie's journey began in New Jersey, where she cultivated her love for teaching. She spent many rewarding years as a Pre-K teacher in Jonestown, Ohio, where her enthusiasm for education and nurturing spirit inspired countless children. Alongside her teaching career, she also served in her daughter Jennifer's school cafeteria, further extending her dedication to children's welfare and education.

Jeanie was a proud follower of Christ and attended the Methodist Church whenever she could. Her faith was central to her life, guiding her through both joyful and challenging times. Jeanie's laughter and sense of humor made her a joy to be around, and she found pleasure in simple pleasures like watching the shows "Hoarders" and "Storage Wars." She had a special love for cooking—whipping up meals for her family when her health allowed—and was known for her unwavering love of animals, especially her cherished dogs, Bella the Yorkie and Foxy the Pomeranian.

Jeanie is preceded in death by her father Loren Ray Wilhelm, mother Janice E. Wilhelm, daughter Jennifer “Jenny” Niziloke, and sister Paulette Wilhelm. She is survived by her loving husband, Earl Judd, Sr., her stepchildren Earl Judd, Jr. and Brandon Judd, and her step-grandchildren Ollie, Kelcie, Mason, and Madison. Jeanie also leaves behind her three beloved grandchildren and her sisters Donna, Lauren, and Nancy, all of whom will forever cherish her memory.

At her wishes, Jeanie will be laid to rest at sea, embracing the freedom and beauty she so dearly appreciated. She will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched, and her loving spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

In memory of Jeanie, we invite you to celebrate her life by sharing stories and memories that reflect her warmth, humor, and love for the Lord.
