Celebrating The Life of Our Loving Mom Judi Shealy

"See flipcard titles"

In Loving Memory of our momma Judith Walker Shealy

August 25, 1944 – November 1, 2025


We pray for all who see this to unite with us in resting in an unquenchable passion for Christ Jesus’ teaching us, But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:26-27).”


    On that bright and cloudless morning, when the dead IN Christ shall rise,
 

    And the glory of His Resurrection share;

    When His chosen ones shall gather in their Home beyond the sky, 

    And the roll is called up Yonder, I'll be there!


Momma Judi, we love you infinitely and will miss you beyond our ability to express with words!

We are eternally grateful to you for all of the love you have always poured out to each of us in your life and in so many wonderful ways!! On the one hand, our hearts are hurting to know that you are gone from us and no longer here with us. On the other hand, however, we are rejoicing with you, and for you, knowing that you have graduated into the loving arms of your and our Father God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit!

We love you and appreciate you eternally Momma Judi!
 


  Judith Walker Shealy, 81, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, November 1, 2025, and walked through the gates to Heaven to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. A Yorktown resident for the last 37 years Mrs. Shealy was a member of Grafton Baptist Church. She was preceded in passing by her loving husband, David Sease Shealy, Jr, 29 June 1932 – 23 January 2017.

     Born on August 25, 1944, she was the second daughter of Margaret Pryor Walker and Bob Walker.

She was an Alpha Iota at Croft Business College, graduating with honors in 1965. Judi approached life with purpose and precision. Her organization and attention to detail shone through in not only her career, but also in her beautifully-decorated home and perfectly-planned events. Her hospitality was unmatched—every gathering she hosted was filled with her signature understated elegance.

Judi is survived by her loving daughter, Kristin Noel Shealy, 3 devoted sons, William “Bill” Shealy (and late wife Mari), Wayne Shealy (and wife Sheri), and Keith Shealy (and wife Brenda), and her sister Sandra Miller (Lloyd). She is also survived by 5 grandchildren: Christopher (and wife Megan) Shealy, Matthew (and wife Typhani) Shealy, Justin Shealy, Logan Shealy, and Ethan Franklin. She was a cherished great-grandmother to nine great-grandchildren who brought her endless joy.

Those who knew Judi will remember her for her impeccable taste, her thoughtful nature, and her determined spirit. She leaves behind a legacy of grace, generosity, and class, both, in the spaces she created and the hearts she touched.

     The visitation service in Judi’s honor was held Thursday, November 6, 2025 at Amory Funeral Home in Yorktown, Va and a graveside funeral service was held on Friday, November 7, 2025, at Peninsula Memorial Park in Newport News, Va with Rev. David Price officiating.

Aside from our momma having a wonder-filled way with her family and friends around her and having “a green thumb” in the garden, she was wonder-full in displaying for all of us her fun side...
We look forward to the day when we are able to hear the sweetest of sounds,
  Well done, thou good and faithful servant.  (Matthew 25:21a)

Day 2, Paragraph 2 of Weekday Blog #1

*Starting our morning and day off great with the 10-min Weekday Blog*

Our first DAILY blog, every Weekday in JUNE!

Thank you for joining us for this
ground-breaking JOURNEY
...
through the 1st CHAPTER of Keith's book,
Keep the FAITH…Keep Your VISION”!

If you will read this book in its entirety, then you will be equipped
to begin walking with the confidence and authority that Jesus Christ
came and died to provide for us, in order that we may work *with*
Him, be *fulfilled* in our work, lead a *successful life*, and...

      


Day TWO,
Paragraph TWO:

    
Why does it happen that so many people end up taking wonderful visions and dreams, things they carried with them through life, to the grave?  Why is it those people talked about doing great things, but never put them into action to get them out from within their hearts where God placed them?  The answer is simple.  They never found out what God's purpose was for putting them on earth to begin with, so their lives were mere shadows of what they had the potential to be, having no real meaning.  They did not fulfill the purpose for which God created them.   because only in His purpose is the secret to a successful life to be found.

Question to ponder:
What is at least ONE thing that you hold as a passion or vision in your heart, that you haven't done anything with in your life yet?  _________________________________________

Keith's "Comments from the Author":
"This I have learned:  ‘Succeeding’ in something like sports, business, music, and the like, cannot be enjoyed fully based on the world’s standards for success.  True fulfillment can only be enjoyed as you gain those 'successes’ at the same time as you are finding out from God how He wired them in you to be.  And, working *with* Him to fulfill those purposes for which He created your talents and abilities within you to use toward your successes, as you work *with* Him.  Though I won awards for success in the business world, there was always underlying discontentment.  Though I achieved success in the world’s eyes, the fulfillment I was seeking came only when I sought God and what only He could reveal to me as 'Manufacturer' of all I am and that He wired in me to do and to be, *with* Him.  Until that point, succeeding in achieving high-dollar sales and production teams was not enough to override my feeling miserable doing it.”

"Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. &nbspBut seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
(Matthew 6:31-33)
