Judith "Judy" Lynn Martin Nunley
Judith "Judy" Lynn Martin Nunley, age 81, of Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 4, 2025, in a local hospice facility.
Born in Oregon and raised in Spring City, Tn., Judy lived a full and vibrant life. She retired from Red Lobster after 40 years of dedicated service. Known for her warmth, humor, and strong spirit, she cherished time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren; in her flower gardens, enjoyed relaxing on her front porch, and took great pride in canning and quilting. Judy was also a devoted Alabama football fan—Saturdays in the fall were sacred. Whether ordering or making pizza and wings, she made sure no one interrupted her during a game.
Judy was preceded in death by her parents, Helen and Howard Martin; her brother, Lewis “Sonny” Martin; and brothers-in-law, Sam Burdette and Russell Lemons.
She is survived by her loving children, Mark Allen and JoAnne Nunley and Lori and Jay Minton; grandchildren who lovingly called her “Nene”: Tamara Peterson, Megan May, Jessica Byrne, and Silas Minton; and great-grandchildren, Kelsie Crawley and Tucker Byrne. She is also survived by her cherished sisters, Patsy Burdette and Barbara Lemons; sister-in-law, Lee Martin; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
A Gathering of Friends will be held on Friday, May 16, from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. at Legacy Funeral Home.
Arrangements are by Legacy Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 8911 Dallas Hollow Road, Soddy Daisy, TN 37379, 423 843-2525.
