Judy Kay Small

Judy Kay Small, age 84, of Tallmadge, Ohio, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2026, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on September 2, 1942 in Johnson City, Tennessee to Robey and Millie Patrick, Judy grew up with a spirit of kindness and love for her family.

Judy was a woman of many passions. She could often be found tending to her flowers and landscaping, visiting with one of her children, or preparing something delicious to eat. Her home was always filled with love and she had a rare gift for making everyone who walked through her door feel like family.

Her greatest joy, however, was her family. She was a devoted wife, a patient and loving mother, and a doting grandmother. Her legacy will live on through the generations she nurtured.

She is survived by her beloved husband of 66 years, Roger; her daughters, Tamra and her husband Trent, and Kim and her husband Mike; her cherished grandchildren, Alex, Tyler, Ben, Ellie, and Lyndsay and her husband Steven; her great grandchildren, Grayson and Paisley; and her sister, Mary Lou.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her sons Michael and Tim.

Judy will be laid to rest at a private service on Friday September 18, 2026 in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
