Judy grew up in Etowah, Arkansas, where she graduated high school. She was of the Pentecostal faith and lived her life with a steadfast devotion to God and her family. On February 11, 1989, she married her best friend and the love of her life, Frank Darnell, with whom she shared a beautiful and enduring partnership.
Judy enjoyed the simple joys that made each day brighter watching The Young and the Restless, cheering along with her favorite game shows, playing games, and most of all, spending time with her family and grandchildren. Her warmth, humor, and love filled every room she entered, and her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her husband, Frank Darnell; her son, Michael Darnell; her sisters, Geraldine Moore and Barbara Welsh; and her beloved grandchildren Roy D., Maliek, Makhi, Christian, Miya, Lyric, and Marley.
Judy was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Nettie Brewer; her brothers James Brewer, Andrew Brewer, Larry Brewer, and Jackie Brewer; and her sisters Pearl Rodgers, Linda Sims, and Dorothy Brewer.
Judy's memory will forever live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were blessed to share life with her.
