Mrs. Judy Carol Gurley's Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Judy Gurley, a lifelong resident of Talladega, whose kindness, warmth, and love for her family touched everyone who knew her.
Judy found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved spending time in her kitchen preparing meals for those she loved, believing there was no better way to show love than through good food shared around the table. She also found peace and happiness tending to her beautiful flower beds, where her hard work and care reflected the beauty, she brought into the lives of others.
Above all else, Judy cherished her family. Her greatest joy came from spending time with Johnny, her children, and grandchildren, creating memories that will be treasured forever. She was a loving mother, devoted grandmother, and faithful friend whose gentle spirit and caring heart will be deeply missed.
Judy was preceded in death by her parents: Willie and Geraldine Gurley; her beloved son: Kevin Green; and her brothers: Benny Gurley and David Gurley.
She is survived by her husband: Johnny Trammell; her daughters: Carolyn Herrington (Corey), Brandy Hester (Nick), Denise Herrington (Ron), Martee Ann Arredondo (Ernie); sons: Justin Herrington (Karen), Johnny Trammell Jr. (Tammy); brothers: James Gurley (Billie Ann), Tommy Gurley, Billy Gurley (Terry); sisters: Becky Ford, Lottie Haynes; her grandchildren: Joshua (Lexi), Taylor, Deshawn (Ragan), Katelyn, Dekarie, Daejah, Aidan, Kayla (Garrett), Kamari, Stephanie, Kenzley, Nevaeh, Ashlynn, Emberlynn, Karstyn, Gracie, Giddeon, Gavin, Vonterria, Shay, Kolton (CarolAnn), and Meridian; and her 12 great-grandchildren; her lifelong friend: Sherry Brown, along with many other dear family members and friends who will forever cherish her memory.
Judy’s legacy of love, generosity, and dedication to her family will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her. Though she is no longer with us, the memories she created and the love she shared will remain forever. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her family, friends, and the community she called home throughout her life.
