Judy Higdon Fears

March 28, 2023

Judy Higdon Fears, born March 12, 1947, went home to be with Jesus on March 18, 2023, in Pensacola, FL. She was, above all else, a loving wife, devoted mother, and cherished by many. Her family was everything to her and she was everything to her family. She was happily married for 54 years to the love of her life, Joe. Their love story is one for the books.

She is preceded in death by her father, James Oliver Higdon; and brother, Freddie W. Higdon.

Judy is survived by her loving mother, Virginia Smith Higdon; her husband, Joseph R. Fears, III; siblings, Frankie Higdon (Sherry), Danny Higdon (Karen), Jennifer Bratcher, and Lisa Kyser (Jimbo); children, Jennifer Grace (Frank), Julie Morse, and Joseph Fears, IV; stepdaughter, Lynne Fears (David) and six grandchildren, who lovingly knew her as “Nanny”, Julia (Riley), Annie, Jillian, Ryan, Addie, and Cole.
