Obituary
Julia “Judy” Lynne Barrett was predeceased by her parents, Margaret Elizabeth Williams Barrett Riggs and Gerald Walker Barrett, Jr. She is survived by her sister, Janet Laurette Barrett, her Aunt Elaine Barrett Porter and 11 cousins.
She was the oldest of 15 cousins and they all wanted her to be their big sister. Judy and her Uncle Thomas Barrett were very close. He was like her father after her dad died.
Judy was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force. She worked for the Florida Department of Corrections as a parole officer in a downtown Bunnell office. You could always find Judy traveling the region keeping in touch with the parolees assigned to her. Her goal was helping parolees live their lives productively and within the confines of the law. Judy also worked at the Harry & David store while it was operating at the St. Augustine Outlet Center. She enjoyed giving others gift baskets from Harry & David to show her appreciation for any kindness extended to her.
A selfless caregiver for her mom when she became ill and homebound, Judy made sure she was comfortable in familiar surroundings until she passed away in 2019. Those who knew and loved Judy describe her as a person who had a servant’s heart, never complained, and was willing to give anything she had to anyone in need.
Tennis, boxing, bodybuilding, playing cards, gardening, the beach and her dog, Rafa, kept Judy active. Animals brought her joy. She enjoyed eating hamburgers, donuts and sweets. Judy had a mischievous side that always brought a spark of fun to her extended family beach vacations in Virginia Beach, VA and Nags Head, NC. Her laugh was infectious and she had a fun, carefree spirit about her.
