Judith McGraw Burns

Funeral service for Judith McGraw Burns will be Tuesday, January 4, 2022, at Riverwood Family, with interment at the family residence. Visitation is 5-8 p.m., Monday, January 3, at Riverwood.

Mrs. Burns, 69, of Ruth, passed away December 30, 2021, at her residence. She was born in Brookhaven June 2, 1952, to Charles McGraw and Sarah Joyce Brister McGraw. She was a dedicated wife and mother, and she loved and cared for her family above all things. Spoiling grandkids was her favorite thing to do. She also enjoyed watching football and cooking with family as well as shopping and going out for a good meal. Her favorite spot to visit was the Great Smoky Mountains, she took many trips there with her family. Mrs. Burns like the simple things in life, like swinging on the front porch watching the grandchildren play and receiving flowers they picked from the field. She was the most amazing wife, mother, and grandmother; her absence will be greatly felt.

She is preceded in death by her father, Charles McGraw; son, Kyle Burns; and brother, Larry McGraw.

Those who remain to cherish her memory are, her husband of over 50 years, Clyde E. Burns; sons, Kennon Burns (Sydney), Kody Burns (Brandy), Konley Burns (Cacey); daughter, Kelsey Gerald (Tim); her mother, Sarah Joyce McGraw; brother, Joey McGraw; sister, Missy Morgan (Stan); sister-in-law, Nicki McGraw; 12 grandchildren, Collin Burns, Ashlyn Burns, Chloe Burns, Hayden Burns, Will Brooks, Kathryn Brooks, Kallie Burns, Gracie Burns, Caison Burns, Kailor Burns, Eli Gerald, and Eliza Gerald; one great grandchild, Kashtyn Peak; and a host of other loving family members and friends.

    Praying for Clyde and family. Judy and my husband were classmates for a long time. Then we had the pleasure staying friends with Judy, she will definitely be missed by all. Judy and I always had great visits in Walmart and Sullivan's each time we saw each other, while her faithful husband waited on her in the vehicle. To her family, cherish all the memories of Judy, they last forever. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

    Judy and I go way back to first grade. We had so many good times together. She was a special person and we enjoyed growing up together and going to school events. Gone too soon! You will be missed.
