Judy Annette Catt

September 25, 1941 - April 5, 2024

Judy Annette Catt, 82 years of age, September 25, 1941 - April 5, 2024

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Judy Catt, 82, who passed away peacefully on Friday, April 5, 2024 in Memphis, Tennessee.

Judy, known lovingly as Peck, was born on September 25, 1941 at home in Whitten, Arkansas to Florence and JC Byrd. She was a beloved sister, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Peck touched the lives of many with her kindness, generosity and love for her country.

Currently, Peck was employed with Judge Wheeless at the Crittenden County Courthouse and also for Cindy French at Scooples Jewelry. She was an active member of New Beginnings Methodist Church. Not only was Peck a whiz in the kitchen, but she also had a work ethic that was second to none; she inspired everyone around her.

Peck was preceded in death by her husband, Troy Lee ''Buddy'' Catt, Sr.; her son, Troy Lee Catt, Jr. and her parents, Florence Elizabeth Byrd and James Calvin Byrd.

Peck is survived by her children, Dr. Robin Catt and Stacy (Tim) Catt Parker; daughter-in-law, Jerri Catt Crase; three grandchildren, Shelbi (Adam) Cole, Lee (Kristen) Catt, III and Anna Lee Parker; four great grandchildren, Lee Catt, IV (17), Madi Grace Catt (15), Troy Cole (10) and Catt Cole (8); and her siblings, Carolyn (David) Cleveland, Jimmy Byrd, Artie (Janet) Byrd, Mark (Cathy) Byrd and Randy (Karen) Byrd.

A Celebration of Life will be held on April 8, 2024 at New Beginnings Methodist Church located at 209 Shoppingway Blvd., Suite B, West Memphis, Arkansas.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to New Beginnings Methodist Church at PO Box 1369, Marion, Arkansas, 72364.

Peck will be dearly missed and forever remembered in the hearts of those who knew her.

I was saddened to hear about Judy's passing. She was a great neighbor and a fabulous storyteller. Definitely an awesome cook as well. I always looked forward to Christmas, she would give me twice baked potatoes and the best cheese spread for me to share with my family. I always loved this quote - it has giving me comfort over the years.

I'm blessed to have known Judy. She was a very outgoing person who loved God, life, her children and grandchildren. She definitely believed in a strong work ethic and at 82 she was still working and working for me. I always looked forward to Mondays as that's the day she worked at the courthouse. We would discuss politics and any other subjects she would bring up. I'm gonna miss Judy and I'm so grateful for her friendship. She was definitely a special lady. I love you Judy and I will see you again.

Mrs. Judy was a crown jewel to every. I met Mrs. Judy when I moved to Turrell several years ago and she touch me like we had been knowing each other all our life. When I worked as one of the clerk during elections she would always be a poll worker to make sure things were going the way they supposed to go and believe me she kept everything in order. She touched many lives in Turrell and loved everyone and visa versa. She is going to be missed.
