Judith Ann Roberts Cameron of Cartersville, GA passed away Tuesday, September 14, 2021. She was the daughter of the late Joe and Ann Roberts of Knoxville, Tennessee. Judith is survived by her son, Colin, his wife Mandi, and grandchildren, Drew, Meredith, and Courtney Cameron.
Also surviving are her siblings Jerry Roberts (Marilyn) of Fernandina, Florida; Dinah Roberts Wright of Melbourne, Florida; Steve Roberts (Sandie) of Knoxville, Tennessee, and several nephews.
Judith graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1961, with a BS and MS in Music Education. After moving to Cartersville from Atlanta in 1978, she became the Choir Director at Sam Jones Memorial United Methodist Church. When Trinity United Methodist Church was formed in 1983, she
became the Choir Director at Trinity until her retirement in 2016. To celebrate her career as the Trinity Choir Director, an anthem was commissioned and arranged by composer Mary McDonald and dedicated to her by the Choir. Her title upon retirement was Choir Director Emeritus with the Choir Room being named in her honor.
Her charisma, quick wit, style, and charm enhanced her dynamic determination and dedication in any endeavor, especially music. To watch her direct a choir was a true sight to behold. As she often stated to her choirs, “What we do isn’t a performance, but rather a testament of thankfulness and praise
to God.”
Judith was an accomplished musician and loved to share her talent by playing piano and singing for others. She provided beautiful music celebrating life’s most special moments. She also taught Music and Chorus at Cass Middle School, South Central Middle School and Euharlee Middle School, impacting the lives of her students.
Judith’s grandchildren lovingly called her, “GrandJudith”, and it describes her perfectly. She adored her family, especially her grandchildren. She also cherished her many friendships and counted them all as family. Judith loved to travel, be it near or far, especially to “her beach”, Fernandina, Florida.
Visitation will be held on Tuesday, September 21, 2021 at 12:30pm followed by a service at 2:00pm, both at Trinity at the Well United Methodist Church, 814 West Avenue, Cartersville. The Internment will follow at Sunset Memory Gardens.
Those desiring may make a contribution in Judith’s memory to The Etowah Valley Humane Society, 36 Ladds Mountain Road, Cartersville, GA 30120.
Owen Funeral Home 12 Collins Dr., Cartersville, GA is honored to serve the Cameron family.
