Judith Ann Long, 72, of Seymour, Tennessee, passed away on October 14, 2026. Born March 10, 1954, in Knoxville, Tennessee, Judith lived a life marked by steady devotion to those she loved, meeting each day with quiet strength, enduring patience, and a generous, kind-hearted spirit.
Judith graduated from Holston High School in 1973, carrying forward the diligence and determination that would come to define the way she cared for her home and family. In 1981, she married David Lynn Long, building a marriage rooted in loyalty and steadfast commitment.
Above all, Judith found her greatest joy in time spent with family. She loved to ride and treasured being with her grandchildren, offering them the sort of constant presence that made others feel safe, seen, and deeply cared for.
Judith is survived by her husband, David Lynn Long; her son, Kenneth Carson Long; her daughter, Tracy Weaver (Michael); grandchildren, Alexis Francis, Chayton Francis, Preston Francis, Easton Weaver, Fisher Weaver, and Olivia Weaver; her brother, Steve Kesterson (Sharon); and her sister, Ina Burkhalter.
