Judy M. (Hardy) Williams

Judy M. (Hardy) Williams, age 71, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, June 16, 2025. Born on June 3, 1954, in Columbus, Ohio, Judy was the beloved daughter of the late Leonard and Frances Hardy. She devoted more than 30 years to Columbia Gas, where she earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues before retiring. Judy was known for her love of shopping, her active presence on social media, and most of all, her deep devotion to her family. She especially treasured time spent with her grandchildren, always finding joy in simply being together. Family was everything to Judy—she loved them to the moon and back. She also had a soft spot for Tweety Bird, a small but fitting symbol of her fun-loving and lighthearted spirit. Judy will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Frances Hardy; 4 siblings. Survived by her children, Rhonda (Scott Nail) Bush and Raymond Bush; grandchildren, Ian Hubbard, Isabella Bush and Taylor Frank; siblings, Jean Rogers, Richard (Laura) Hardy, John (Linda) Hardy, Linda Robson, Carol Townsend and Joyce (Ron) Turner; and ex-husband, Red Williams. A time of gathering will be held on Monday, June 23, 2025 from 5-7 pm at Advantage Funeral & Cremation Service by Schoedinger Hilltop, 3030 W. Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43204.
