Judy was a treasured friend and a dedicated worker in our church. She continued to be a caring nurse even in retirement, making sure people who needed medical devices had access. She will be missed. Garvin Gilley
We have fond memories of Judy and Bob when we were neighbors in Surfside. We lived by the pool and spent many hours there sharing experiences. We moved to Pawleys and Judy was so helpful at St Paul’s whenever help was needed. Ii spoke with her a few weeks ago and we shared memories again. I will miss her.
Randy and family. We are so sorry for your loss.

Judy Virnelson. When I think of Judy I think of energy, effervescence, fun, and a smile and laugh that lit up the room. I so looked forward to spending time with Bob and Judy there at their home. We enjoyed sitting around there or out on the patio reminiscing about old times or enjoying some delicious Pawleys Island seafood. I wasn't able to go this past July, but we had talked about making a trip in September. Well, I missed my opportunity to be with both of them this year, but I am so grateful for the wonderful times we did share. Hope Virnelson Gayle Hickam
