Judith Nan Georgine

Judy was born near Lake Village, Arkansas on August 8, 1930, to William Horace and Eulalia Docia Hodges. She married Gene L. "Geno" Georgine on July 5, 1947 and worked as a homemaker raising her three children.

Judy took in ironing and mending and cleaned house to bring in extra income for her family. She worked the election polls for several years, and taught Sunday School to generations of children sharing her love for the Lord. Judy loved reading, completing word puzzles, and volunteered in the church nursery and participated in a quilting circle that donated full size and individual lap quilts to a local Children's Home. Her main focus in life was her great faith and love of the Lord.

She enjoyed embroidery, creating hundreds of gifts for loved ones and friends. Affectionately called "Memaw" by everyone, Judy's favorite pastime was spending time with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and countless nieces, nephews, church family and friends.
