Wilson, Judith Leigh, 77, of Chesterfield County, VA, passed away November 5, 2020 with family by her side. Judy had grit and even through numerous procedures for cancer, rarely if ever complained. Her faith in God sustained her daily and her love of the Bible gave her much comfort.
She is survived by her sisters: June Grant (Bill), Shirley Rutland of Chesterfield; Anne Warren of Newport News. She is survived also by nieces and nephews:
Jennifer Warren Johnson (Tim), Alec Warren (Crystal), Chris Rutland (Jill), Brian Rutland (Heather), Jeff Grant (Neki) and Lorie Grant DeWorken (Pete).
Judy taught Physical Education and Health for forty years with all but one in Chesterfield County. She taught at Chester Middle School, opened Salem Church Middle School and opened Lloyd C. Bird High School. She closed her career at Falling Creek Middle School.
She was an avid golfer, with membership at Stonehenge Country Club. After retiring from teaching, she worker for several years at the Independence Golf Course. Some of her greatest memories were of playing golf at the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland on two different trips.
"Aunt Judy" was an influence in many young lives as she chaperoned and helped the youth groups at Huguenot Road Baptist Church, who remember her fondly.
She taught Sunday school for the one of the adult women's classes for a number of years. One of her great joys was the chance to participate in Bible Study Fellowship, an in-depth study of the Bible by women from all over the Richmond area. Her recent membership at First Baptist Church Richmond has been a place of blessing and service for her.
