In Loving Memory of Judy Faye Finch (Judy Faye Hannah) Judy Faye Finch, lovingly known as Judy Faye Hannah, passed away peacefully on April 22, 2026, in the comfort of her home in Aberdeen, Mississippi. She was born on March 14, 1956, in Morristown, Tennessee, and was a proud graduate of Morristown-Hamblen West High School.

Judy was a woman known for her kind heart, generous spirit, and unwavering love for her family and friends. She was the kind of person who would do anything for anyone, always putting others before herself. Over the years, she formed many lasting friendships in her workplace, where her warm personality and love for people shined just as brightly as her talent for baking. She found joy in life's simple pleasures-baking cakes, camping, riding on the pontoon, driving her golf cart and especially spending time with those she loved most. Judy cherished every moment with her family, particularly her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She also treasured her visits to family in North Carolina and held a special place in her heart for her beloved dogs, Ace and Macey.

Judy was preceded in death by her parents, Betty Jo Taylor and Jack Hannah Sr O(Morristown, TN) .; her brother, Audi Wayne Hannah (Morristown, TN) ; her grandson, Christopher Owens Nickoles; and her stepdaughter, Jamie Lynn Finch both laid to rest side by side in West Point, MS.

She leaves behind a loving family who will carry her memory forward: her husband of 34 years, Brian Finch; her daughter, Chastity Nicole Nickoles (Bobby Nickoles Jr.) of Maiden, North Carolina; her stepson, Jerrod Finch (Kacie Finch) of West Point, Mississippi; and her siblings, Jack Hannah Jr. (Rhonda) of Morristown, Tennessee, and Tammy Hannah Forrester (Doug) of Dandridge, Tennessee. Judy was a proud grandmother to Brianna Nickoles Hooper (Christian Hooper) (Maiden, Nc) Mikelle Nickoles (Maiden, NC) , Riley Finch, and Cameron Finch (West Point, MS). She was also blessed with six great-grandchildren: Emery, Lillian, River May, Kash, Shiloh, and Beckham (Maiden, NC) each of whom brought her immense joy and pride.

Judy's legacy is one of love, kindness, and selflessness. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her memory will live on in the hearts of her family, her friends, and all the lives she touched. Though our hearts are heavy, we find peace in knowing she is resting at home and surrounded by love.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." - Psalm 34:18

"Grandma, I love you to the moon and back, and I love you more. I will miss you every day. Always." - Brianna

However, grief itself is not a bad thing; it is actually a complement to love. Because your love was so real and powerful, you grieve the loss of that person deeply. And when the dark moments come, think on the good times and remember that your grief is evidence of your great love. And love is worth it!
