September 29, 1947 – January 14, 2021
Mrs. Judy Caroline Davis Barnhardt, age 73 of Salisbury, passed away suddenly on Thursday, January 14, 2021 at Atrium Health – Cabarrus. Born September 29, 1947 in Rowan County, Judy was the daughter of the late William “Bill” Davis and Edith Honbarger. In addition to her parents preceding her in death, her sister, Virginia Davis also recently passed away. Judy was a longtime member of Mt.

Judy spent over 20 years at China Grove Elementary School as a teacher’s assistant for grades K-6. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother. Judy was an excellent cook and loved to bake. She was well known for her baking skills, but her homemade fried apple pies were the absolute favorite of her grandchildren. Judy had a servant’s heart and her care and compassion for others was first and foremost in her life.
Those left to cherish her memory are her loving husband of 53 years, Royce Barnhardt and her children, Janice Gordon (Michael) and Keith Barnhardt (Milissa) along with her precious grandchildren, Lance, Krista and Tanner Gordon and Dallas and English Barnhardt. She also leaves behind her brothers, Billy Davis (Debbie) and Terry Davis (Barbara) and sisters, Nancy Beaver (Eddie) and Margaret Varnadore.

The day I needed them the most they were right there for me Mrs. Judy and Royce. I have never forgot that. I was very thankful to have had her as a friend ,as a church member, and as the church secretary. It just will not be the same. May the Lord bring you peace Mr. Royce . Your days will be hard ahead of you , but you have all of us. We are a phone call away .

Royce, so sorry for your loss. Praying for family. 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Judy was such a lovely person. We were together at China Grove Elementary. Everybody loved her. She always had a beautiful smile and was a joy to be around. I’m so glad to have known her and we all need more of her positive ways. She was a bright light in our world.
