Judith “Judy” Evelyn Carney, a long-time resident of Sun City Center, passed away peacefully on May 26, 2024, in Cocoa, FL.
Judy loved spending time with her family, singing karaoke, cooking and her newly found hobby of diamond painting. She worked as a hair stylist for many years; she also worked at the Sun City Center Publix as a cashier. She was a sweet, fun-loving soul, who after her dear mother passed, became the matriarch of the Kilpatrick family. Judy was very festive, loving the holidays and decorating for them.
Judy is preceded in death by her husband, James Carney; her mother, Betsy Ann Kilpatrick; and her sister, Jane “PJ” Orsell. She is survived by her brothers, Eugene Kilpatrick, John Kilpatrick and Scott (Jodi) Kilpatrick; her nieces, Kimberly Kilpatrick, Karen (Rene) Mendez, Kristine Kilpatrick, Tiffany (Shawn) Reutimann, Lauren (Tyler) Krause and her nephew Norman Orsell; five great-nieces; two great-nephews, one great-great nephew and two great-great nieces. Judy’s other surviving family members are her stepdaughters, Sandra (Jorge) Alves, Andrea (Bill) Schoonover, Cheryl (Mark) Herath and Lori (John) Sumeola from whom she became Nana to nine grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
“Aunt Judy” and “Nana” as she was lovingly referred to, will always be in our hearts and memories. She was truly one of a kind.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
