Judy Kay Shumaker Hemphill

Judy Kay Shumaker Hemphill, 77, passed away peacefully at Winston Medical Center Nursing Home in Louisville, Mississippi, on Wednesday, August 30, 2023. A memorial graveside service and interment will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, September 2 in Louisville Memorial Cemetery with Bro. Trent Jaudon officiating.

Judy was born in Louisville on March 6, 1946, to Clinton and Ella Jean Clement Shumaker. She was a graduate of Louisville High School and a member of South Louisville Baptist Church. The beach was her absolute favorite place to be; and yet, she also enjoyed being in the mountains. Judy enjoyed traveling, shopping, reading her Bible and her Bible commentary. She dearly loved her children and grandchildren; and she always enjoyed any time she was with them.

Judy is survived by three sons: Timothy Ray Hemphill and wife, Jo Katherine, of Louisville; Scott Hemphill and wife, Janet, of Cookeville, Tennessee; and Mike Hemphill and wife, Delana, also of Louisville. One of her greatest joys was being “Grandma” to her five grandchildren: Cruise (Amber) Hemphill, Tyler Hemphill, Brandon Hemphill, Josh Hemphill, and Michael Hemphill; as well as her great-grandson, Israel Hemphill.

Judy was preceded in death by her husband, Ray Hemphill, and an infant brother.
