Born in Leoma, TN to Grady and Doris Cooley. Mom married young at the age of 16, she had 3 children that she loved dearly and that she worked hard to raise. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy. She was a Hot shot driver for Acme Truck Lines most of her career where she had the CB handle Heaven Bound. She was an active member of Bethel Assembly of God. She volunteered at many “Teen challenges”. She always gave to the poor and picked up the homeless. She had a servant’s heart. She loved going to the beach, walking in the woods and reading her bible. She was a spiritual mentor to many family and friends. She always knew the right words to say to make you smile. Judy always had her bible by her side and was willing to share with anyone that was open to listen. She never let a moment slip by without telling someone about Jesus.
In 1993 at the age of 44, Mom had an aneurysm that changed her life forever. Never in the time she was bedbound did she waiver from her faith in Christ. She loved her husband, Orel, her children and grandchildren. If you ever had a chance to visit with her, you would know of her love for hard candies and telling repetitive jokes.
Pallbearers will be Brandon Murphy, Cody Pourcio, Jacob Trahan, Josh Jagneaux, Kolbe Delahoussaye and Chip Underwood. Honorary Pallbearers will be Sammy Barnett.
The family requests that visitation be observed in Martin & Castille's DOWNTOWN location on Tuesday from 9:00 AM until time of service.
