    Notes:

    Judy Ann Williams was born May 28, 1952 the daughter of Clifford and Pauline Blankenship Willis. She was married to Broyate Royal Willims and had one son Broyate Royal Williams Jr.

    Judy was a beautiful, caring and giving lady who was loved by all who knew her. She and her husband attended Roseville Baptist Church until she was no longer able to attend.

    Judy had heart and lung problems at an early age. It progressed to where she was scheduled to have a heart and lung transplant at Vanderbilt University by Dr. William (Bill) Frisk in 1988. This was the first heart/lung transplant performed at Vanderbilt. Judy was able to come home and spent time with her family. She cane to visit Katheryn and I on one of her trips home. Judy live about two years after the transplant.

    It has been twenty five years and I still think of her quite often. She now has a daughter in law and three grandchildren.

    Sadly at the age of 37 God called Judy home where she would never suffer again.
