In 1946, through a blind date, Judy met Steve Harper and began a two year courtship which was to be followed by more than 68 years of marriage.

Each was a part of the other, an inseparable combination. Steve was life and life was Upon retirement as director of advertising for the Gannett owned Tennessean newspaper, Judy and Steve moved from Brentwood to their self- constructed dream home on a farm near Charlotte, TN. Many happy years followed, surrounded by their livestock, horses, dogs and cats all of whom Judy loved immensely. She is, and will continue to be, greatly missed. Special thanks are to be given to their group of guardian angels in the last years, especially Regina (Nina) Williams, Jamie Rayburn, Tammy Welcher, Debra Millard, Sheila Bryant, Debbie Miller, Dana Carver and Amy Butler.
