Judy was a beloved wife, mother, sister, and grandmother. She was a graduate of Sissonville
High School and was a long-time employee of Kanawha County Schools Child Nutrition. Judy
loved working with all the students at Flinn Elementary and will always be remembered as
having a child-like spirit. She loved to dress up, decorate, and celebrate for any and every
occasion. Judy was a Christian and a member of Kelly's Creek Community Church and an active
member of the church's Ladies Aide.

Charleston; her daughter, Nicole Blount of Sissonville; her step-mother, Louise Burdette of
Nitro; her sister, Deborah Staats (Craston) of Sissonville; her grandchildren, Emily Brammer
