of North Little Rock, AR
July 19, 1949 - March 5, 2026
It was with great sadness that we announce the passing of Judy Kay Mansell Everett, who departed this earthly life on March 5, 2026, at the age of 76, after a long battle with dementia. Judy was born the third of five girls on July 19, 1949, in North Little Rock, to William and Janice Mansell.
Judy was a devoted wife, loving mother, and mammie to her three grandchildren who were her pride and joy. She enjoyed being the manager of the cafeteria at Oak Grove High School where she helped several students and teachers. Judy took special joy in helping others in need. She was an incredible artist, completing beautiful paintings and gifting her knitting projects. She loved visiting the national forest, being outdoors, and spending time with her family.
Judy is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Thomas Everett; her daughter, Melissa (Shawn) Riddle; her son, Jason (Mary) Everett; her grandchildren, Savannah (Jayton) Howell, Clayton (Abigail) Riddle, and Brock Riddle, and one great grandchild, Ridley; her sisters, Muriel ''Kitty'' Henderson, Vera (Ronnie) McLeod, and Alita Rudd; as well as numerous family members and friends who valued her presence in their lives.
She was preceded in death by her father and mother (William and Janice), and sister, Martha Haag.
A celebration of life will be held later for family and close friends.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Little Rock Compassion Center or the charity of your choice in her name.
