Kenneth Poe Funeral Services

I only knew Judy for a short time, as she was my mother’s dining partner and friend at the assisted living facility she lived at in Charlotte. We often spoke at meals and sitting around the lounge areas. She was a very nice woman, with a great sense of humor and always informed on what was happening around her place, Charlotte and in the news. She was a pleasure to get to know. My mother, myself and others from Summit Place miss her very much.

I met Judy when I moved to Charlotte in 1969 and went to Pritchard Baptist Church. I eventually moved to Texas but we remained friends. She came to see me in Texas more than one time and I saw her in Charlotte on my way to Virginia. We both loved Jeopardy! and reading and they were always subjects of our conversations. I called her the night before she died but had to leave a message. I will miss her but I know she is in Heaven.

Judy was a good friend for many years. She enjoyed life but now she is smiling down on us as she sits with her beloved lord. I know you are at peace.

There are some friends in life and there are those friends for life. Judy was a lifetime friend of sixty years plus. We didn't agree on everything but I could count on her in crisis and in good times.
I was in school when I met her. She said she would type my term paper. I had to sit upstairs while she typed so we wouldn't argue.
After college Judy wanted to learn to drive. I taught her to drive in the cemetery on Freedom Drive. We felt safe.
She has sincere concern about me because she would call my mother to make sure I got home ok
Judy's mother and my mother sat with one another when they were sick in the hospital.
When I was married at Pritchard Judy was there to help plan and be in my wedding.
When my husband was terminally ill she invited me to stay with her to be near him during his four months of hospitalization.
We talked often, even a couple days before she passed.
We remained friends beyond words, beyond distance and beyond time.
