Obituary

Judy C. Buchanan, 74, gained her angel wings on Thanksgiving, Nov. 23. with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren by her side. No more Thanks could be given to replace all the good she has done while here with us. She is now in the arms of her beloved husband Jimmy of 53 years and our precious Lord.

Judy was preceded at her departure by her husband Jimmy Buchanan, father Oscar Smith, mother Georgia Freet, and siblings: Connie Chaffee, Jerry Smith, Shirley Segars, Sue Paletta, Lee Smith, stepson Eddie Buchanan, his wife Sue, along with grandchildren: Eddie Jr, Amber and Crystal.

She leaves behind her children, Frank Buchanan, Valerie (Jon) Taylor and James Wesley (Angela) Buchanan, stepson Jim Buchanan Jr, stepdaughter Kathy Haage, daughters-in-law Valerie Sharpe and Nancy Buchanan, sister Maggie Irwin, grandchildren: Staci (Eli) Manning, Crystal (Adam) Heishman, Deanna Heishman, Angela Buchanan, Jim (Amber) Buchanan III, Sean (Holly) Buchanan, Crystal Haage, Amber (Shawn) Bainbridge, Donald Laughlin, great grandchildren: Jaci, Elli, Audri, Kenzli, Saige, Giovanni, Ryleigh, Jared, Aurora, Maelei, Emma, Kyler, Zaylee, Zoey, Sierra, Brandon, Lennox, Cadence, Shawny, plus a host of in-laws, nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and many cherished friends.

Judy was loved by everyone for her outgoing spirit, spunky personality, willingness to achieve, and how loving she was with her family, which meant everything to her. She was a homemaker and a stay at home mom. She enjoyed her later years fishing with Jimmy and whoever else climbed in the boat. She enjoyed the holidays and cooking, which will be very much missed.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Judy and Jimmy together on February 3, 2024 at the Lake Weir Yacht Club at 1:30. All of their family and friends are invited to this location where they both loved spending time out-fishing one another.
Instead of flowers, the family requests any donations be made to the Hospice of Marion County, Florida. They well deserve the same support they gave us and most importantly, the outpouring care of our much loved mother.
Send flowers to the family to show you care. Order Now

    My beautiful mom! She taught me how to be strong, how to be honest, how to live right and for that I cherish her always! Those that knew her, knew that she was strong, spunky, very loving, and full of life. If I was able to speak to her face to face right now, I would simply say, "Mom, I didn't like you leaving, but I love you so much for everything you have done for me, and all the lessons you have taught me. You and dad were my rock and I'm grateful I had you both as my parents. One day we will all be together!" Memories and lessons cannot and will not ever be erased! Much LOVE still exists!!!!

    Mostly remember going to visit when i was young girl, would visit on Christmas Eve. While there we would visit granny & pop buchanan. We used to visit and see farm animals. I specifically remember riding a horse and then falling off. Three years ago in august i fell down my back deck stairs, put it on Facebook and judy was the only one that asked if i was alright….. thank you you will be missed.

    I am at a loss for words. Mommom, my Miyagi, Saige, Adam and I will always carry you in our hearts. You were always my favorite person and I will love you and I will do everything for the duration of my life to try to amount to even half the women you were and always model what you’ve taught me through life. As you always said: much to learn young grasshopper. Patience grasshopper. I just never thought I would have to learn how to go through life without you. I love you and I’m thankful to God you are no longer suffering and I prayed very hard you get to be right in Poppops arms where I can just hear his voice saying about dang time. And that you both have angel wings to fly over us all and watch over us. I love you always. You’ve been the strongest impact on my life. And I’m so thankful for the 33 years I had with you. It’s not goodbye… I will still speak your name daily and for now I’m going to say until I see you again Miyagi I love you. I never considered myself a Heishman. I’m a Buchanan though and through because of you and Poppop and my mama saving me.
