Judy Annetta Watson, from Benton, Arkansas, has gone on to be with the Lord at the age of 80 on June 3, 2025.  Judy was born on February 18, 1945 and grew up in Parma, Missouri.  She leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and cherished memories.

Judy was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She is survived by her loving husband of 49 years, Louie "Mike" Watson; her children, Lea Braun (Joel) and Joey Rowland (Candy); and her adored grandchildren, Michael Braun, Caleb Braun, and Logan Braun. Judy's sister, Delores Caudle, also mourns her passing, along with many extended family members and dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Elva and Iva Wakefield; her first husband, Lelon Rowland; and her siblings, Alta Anderson, Wincel Wakefield, Lucille Whitworth, Louise Park, CJ Wakefield, Junior Wakefield, and Maxine Walker. Though they have gone before her, their memories and love remained a guiding force throughout her life.

Judy's warmth, generosity, and unwavering dedication to her family touched everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. She found joy in the simple moments, cooking for loved ones, and the strength of the bonds she built over the years. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who knew her, and her presence will be deeply missed.

A celebration of life for Judy will be held at a later date, where family and friends can gather to honor and remember the beautiful life that she lived.

May she rest in peace, surrounded by the love of those who have gone before her.
