Judith Ann (Kelley) Harris

Judith Ann Harris, daughter of Lloyd Chester Kelley and the late Lois Nadine (Adams) Kelley, was born on January 20, 1958 in Valley Park, Missouri, and departed this life on November 3, 2016 at her home in Mountain Grove, Missouri. She was 59 years, 9 months, and 14 days of age.

Judy had four children: Johnny Dean, Wallace Dean, Anna May, and Nicolas Dewayne. She was a great mother, and she loved her children and grandchildren more than anything in the world. She enjoyed camping, fishing, and spending time with her friends and family. She was held in great regard; valued highly as a friend, neighbor, and sister. It is with the greatest respect that we deliver our beloved mother, sister, and friend into the arms of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 13:11-13

When I was a child I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. When I became a woman, I put childish things away.

And now these things remain: faith, hope, and love; the greatest of these is love.

Judy was preceded in death by her mother: Lois Nadine Kelley, and by her beloved infant son: Nicolas Dewayne Buttram.

She is survived by three children: Johnny Dean Buttram of Hartville, Missouri, Wallace Dean Buttram of Mountain Grove, Missouri, and Anna May Behunin of Durham, California; seven grandchildren; her father: Lloyd Chester Kelley; three brothers: Russell Kelley of Hartville, Missouri, Mike Kelley of Lebanon, Missouri, and Jeff Kelley of Richland, Missouri; and one sister: Judy Kennon of St. Louis, Missouri.
