Mrs. Kilpatrick led me to a saving knowledge of Jesus when I was 16 and struggling with my faith after being baptized as a preschooler. She was my Sunday School director and  told me I could be sure and how to make sure. 

April 10, 1069

I'll never forget her.  Love & prayers to her family,

Marcia Stevens Smith

Deepest respect and sympathy for Aunt Juda’s passing. She was a good, kind, and loving woman. Prayers and love from Scott and Mary Owen

Ms Juda was a special person. She always had a twinkle in her eyes and a smile on her face. When she spoke to me, it was as if we were the only ones in the room. She loved her Jesus and wanted everyone she met to love Him too! I know she will be missed here, but today Heaven is a little fuller! I'm so sorry for your loss! Debbie Lassetter Lancaster

Mike,
Your mother was always so sweet to me whenever I saw her.  I remember how especially sweet to me at the dedication of that stained glass window for Dean the year after his death.  

When ever I see a repo truck I always think about Dean & your Dad.

I know she is back with them all.

Deepest sympathy to all of y'all,
Lea (Williamson) Smith

Miss Juda led me to Jesus when I was 16. Raised in a Christian home, I so easily could have continued being religious without ever coming to a real relationship with Jesus. When I finally expressed my doubts to my Sunday School Director, Mrs. Kilpatrick, she encouraged me to settle the issue once an for all. On April 20, 1969, walking up and down Lucky Drive thinking over what she'd said, I finally did. What if she hadn't taken the time? What if she'd assumed I was already a believer? What if? 
I was blessed to know her at 16. I look forward to seeing her again. "We don't grieve like those who have no hope."

Juda was one  of my favorite people 
She truly loved the Lord!  Over 50 years ago  Juda was David’’s kindergarten teacher. 

Juda was so special to our family!  She was a part of the Eastside “Lunch Bunch” with my mother (Delores Bowen).  Growing up at Eastside, both she and Darius were Sunday School teachers and had a major impact on the youth group.  So thankful to have known and loved this special godly woman.  May God hold your families close in His loving arms as you lay your mother/grandmother to rest.  Elise Bowen Goldstein

I worked with Juda for close to 10 Years at the
Eastside Baptist Church Kindergarten and She was a Very Godly Woman, Whom Everyone Loved. She surely had a Servant’s Heart and always gave A Helping Hand to those in Need. She will be missed by All. She was very Special. 
Our Prayers are with Mike & Kent and the entire
Family. 
Carolyn & Bob Fayard & Family

Mike and Kent,  Praying  for comfort for you and your family at the home going of Ms Juda.  I have never known such a truly sweet, gentle and Godly woman.  She meant so much to me and my family down through the years.  I know that she is in heaven having a great reunion with Dean, Chris and Mr. Darius.
