At the time of her passing she was 80 years, nine months, and 25 days of age. Judy was raised in Birmingham, AL. She accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at the age of 12 while attending Norwood Baptist Church, her Church home for most of her young life. She graduated from Phillips High School and continued her education at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa where she received a degree in clothing, textiles, and related arts.
She was a longtime teacher in the Hermitage School District. Judy was united in marriage to Theodore Ben “Ted” Scott on April 5, 1968, and to this union three children were born. After her children were in school, Judy went back to continue her education at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield where she earned her teaching certificate in Home Economics (FACS). She never wanted to be a teacher, but found this to be right where she was supposed to be. She loved her students and her job, and is still in contact with many of them. After retirement, Judy attended Bible Study Fellowship for 10 years, various bible studies in homes of friends, and was a member of the Christian Church with her husband for over 30 years. Judy felt led to Calvary Chapel Freewill Baptist Church, and she attended the early service there so she could attend services at the Christian Church with her husband.

She is survived by her children, Meredith Scott and Matthew and wife Brandy Scott and their children, McKenzie and Kylee, and Ted’s wife, Holly Scott and their children, Sophia, Jonah and Emma; and her siblings, Jan Warren, James Warren, and Kathy Warren Nunn.
