Judy Patrick, age 79, of Breathitt County, Kentucky, went to her Heavenly home on December 18, 2025, surrounded by her family.
Born on November 28, 1946, in Breathitt County, Judy lived a life filled with love, faith, and devotion to those she cherished. She was married to the love of her life, Ray Patrick, for 60 wonderful years. Together they built a family grounded in strength, kindness, and deep affection.
Judy is survived by her husband, Ray Patrick; her children, Jane Ann Noble, Jackie Ross, and Jeff (Kathy) Patrick; grandchildren, Jessica (Justin) Neace, Jason (Sondra) Noble, Jeremy (Gabrielle) Ross, Bradley Ross, Kristian (Chris) Stamper, Tyler Patrick; and nine great-grandchildren who lovingly called her theirs. She is also survived by her siblings Pam Potter, Daisy (Ted) Kalen, Tommy Gross, and David (Sue) Gross.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Hargis and Jane Gross; brothers, Glen Gross and Melvin Gross; and sister, Grace Gross.
Judy’s passions were as warm and vibrant as her heart. She enjoyed flower gardening, reading books, sewing, and cooking big meals for her family. Her home was always filled with love, laughter, and the comforting smells of her delicious meals. She leaves behind a legacy of faith, generosity, and unconditional love.
A Celebration of Life for Judy will be held at a later date. Per her wishes, there will be no formal funeral or burial service.
Her family finds comfort in knowing she is at peace in her Heavenly home, reunited with loved ones who passed before her. Though she is no longer physically present, her spirit will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
