Judith “Judy” Carol Kennon Wood, 75 passed away quietly with her children by her side at Hospice Home of Rockingham County early Sunday Morning.

A funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, November 16, 2016 at Fair Funeral Home Chapel with Reverend Haywood Alcorn officiating. Interment will follow the service in Roselawn Memorial Gardens in Reidsville.

Judy was born Aug. 11, 1941 at her family’s home on Front Street to Jesse Lee Kennon and the late Doris Jones Kennon. Judy was the oldest of four girls. She graduated in 1960 from John Motley Morehead High School. Shortly after graduating, she married Homer Vernon Wood. After completing a cosmetology course in Danville, Va. in 1962, Judy owned and operated “Judy’s Beauty Shop” on Fieldcrest Road in Draper. She worked as a security guard with Guardsmark and Judy was assigned to guard duty at Miller Brewing Co. She was an exceptional person, cared for others, and tried to help others any way she could. Judy loved people and was a very beautiful woman but her greatest beauty came from within.. Although a long-time member of Draper Christian Church, in the past year, Judy had been attending Willis Memorial Baptist Church in Cascade, Va. and joined that church three weeks ago. She will be greatly missed.

I knew Judy from back in our Draper days when we went to school together. She was always the kindest, most caring person I have known. She always had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eyes. To know her was to love her. I am praying for her entire family

I have known Judy for many years and this is what she has been waiting for. She said when the Lord called her home she would not have anymore pain and a new body! To know Judy was to love her! I pray that God will wrap His loving arms around each of you and give you comfort and peace! God bless all of you!

God bless you all in your time of loss. I've known her since I was a teenager and she was my mother Shelby Isley's hairdresser. They remained close through all these years. Mama is very ill now but if she was able to attend her service she surely would be there. I have been praying for the family.

Revelation 21:3, 4 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.+ 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes,+ and death will be no more,+ neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.+ The former things have passed away.”
