With deep love and profound gratitude for her life, the family of Judy Eddings announces her peaceful passing. Judy was a woman of extraordinary grace—gentle in spirit, steadfast in faith, and endlessly devoted to the people and passions that shaped her beautiful journey.
A faithful servant of the Lord, Judy’s life reflected her unwavering love for God and her family. She was a woman whose kindness radiated, whose compassion lifted others, and whose quiet strength guided those who were blessed to know her. Judy held a lifelong appreciation for the arts. She not only admired beauty—she created it. A gifted artist, she produced her own pieces and poured her heart into several church murals that continue to inspire all who see them. Judy shared her love for art with her twin sister, Julie, and together they founded Arkansas Twin Artists. Her talent, combined with her humility, touched countless lives. After raising her children, Judy pursued her formal education in art and painting, a chapter of life that brought her immense joy and allowed her to encourage and influence many aspiring artists. Long before her artistic pursuits, Judy forged her own path in transportation—an industry in which she both owned a trucking company and proudly drove a truck herself. Her determination, independence, and work ethic were evident in everything she undertook. In her later years, Judy found joy in simple, meaningful pleasures. She loved traveling with her family, making memories that will forever be cherished. She loved her community. Judy was a member of the Concord Homemakers Club and treasured the relationships she formed in Concord. She also adored spending time on the farm, tending to her beloved chickens and enjoying the peaceful rhythm of country life.
