Judy St. Pierre

Judy Elaine Mathis St. Pierre, 56, passed away on Friday, March 14, 2014, with her family at her side. Judy was born in 1957 and was a lifetime resident of Rock Spring and LaFayette, Ga. She graduated from LaFayette High School. As a devoted mother of two children, Crystal St. Pierre and K.B. "Tra" St. Pierre, Judy was a compassionate, generous, and kind person with a smile that could light up any room. She volunteered for the Chattanooga Down Syndrome Society and advocated for those with special needs. Judy worked hard to provide for her children. Her journey was not easy, but she used obstacles as learning experiences and shared knowledge with the ones she loved so they might lead a better life. Some of her hobbies were gardening, watching westerns (John Wayne), cooking, fishing, camping, and spending time with family and friends. Judy never stopped loving. She was preceded in death by her father, C.H. Mathis; and mother, Myrtle Mathis, of Rock Spring. Judy is survived by two children, Crystal (Donyell) St. Pierre and K.B. "Tra" St. Pierre, of Chattanooga. She is survived by three brothers, Gene (Nancy) Mathis, Frank Mathis and Charles (Melissa) Mathis, of Rock Spring. She is survived by many other family members and friends. A memorial service will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 22, at the LaFayette Cowboy Church (196 County Line Road, LaFayette, GA 30728). A memorial service will be followed by a small reception. The St. Pierre family will accept flowers at Cowboy Church or donations can be made in memory of Judy St. Pierre to the Chattanooga Down Syndrome Society at P.O. Box 4891, Chattanooga, TN 37405. The arrangements are by Wallis-Wilbanks Funeral Home, LaFayette.
