Judith E. Pierce

Judith Eugene Gaddis Pierce ended her life’s journey on Thursday, September 3, 2015 after a 2 ½ year battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. She joyfully joins her husband Jimmy F. Pierce in eternal rest and peace. She is survived by beloved son James C. Pierce and his wife Patricia along with their three children – Mikaela, Madison, and Meradith of New Braunfels, Texas, her sister Ann McClellan and husband Gary of Vale, Oregon, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends.

Judy was born to Rooker and Vera Gaddis on July 16, 1936 in Raleigh, Mississippi.

She married Jimmy on April 7, 1957, in San Antonio, Texas. They settled in New Braunfels in 1987. She was active with First Baptist Church after moving to New Braunfels and eventually ran the kitchen for them for many years with the help of her husband and sometimes her son - whom she adored. She has many lifelong friends, all very dear to her that have either preceded her in death and happily welcome her home or celebrate their friendships with her and look forward to some good eating when they join her in heaven. Judy was well known for her pound cakes, peanut brittle and various other delicious treats, as well as the ability to pull together a pretty good meal for a lot of people.

The funeral will be held 10:00 AM Tuesday, September 8, 2015 at First Baptist Church, New Braunfels with a Graveside Service to follow at Comal Cemetery.
