Ms. Knowles passed peacefully the morning of Feb. 23, 2020, in Demorest.
Born Aug. 6, 1938, in Lanett, Alabama, she was the daughter of the late Nadine and Hugh Knowles. In addition to her parents, Judy was preceded in death by her brother, John E. Knowles.
She was a passionate elementary school teacher that taught K-12 before retiring after 40 years. Her joys in life were her family, helping others, fishing, crabbing and lets not forget those cryptograms. She also enjoyed traveling and exploring new places.
She is survived by her daughter, Janice A. Mullins, and two granddaughters, Abigale and Morgan Mullins, all of Demorest; her sister, Susan K. Daniel; and several nieces and nephews.
