Judith was born in Columbus, GA on September 4, 1943, the daughter of Willie Radford Gill and Margaret Lillian Jones Gill. She was a graduate of Jordan High School and LaGrange Technical College, which led to her becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse. She was employed by the Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office. She retired after 20 years of service to both the Muscogee County Jail and the Muscogee County Prison, where she made many friends and spoke of them often. Judith loved to travel, visit with friends and family, tell jokes, and have a good laugh. She is truly loved by her entire family, especially her daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her family meant everything to her. She lived her life for them unselfishly.

Other than her parents, Judith is preceded in death by her brothers Charles Gill, Gerald Gill, and her granddaughter, Heather Lee Reynolds.
