Judy Turner

Judy Turner, 74, of Rutherford, Tennessee, died on Thursday, June 26, 2025, at her residence in Rutherford, Tennessee.

Born Tuesday, November 28, 1950, in Dyersburg, Tennessee, she was the daughter of the late W.B Fair and the late Eddie Sue Sawyer Fair.  She was a former operator at Dyersburg Fabrics.. 

Known for her warmth, sweet spirit, and boundless love, Judy found her greatest joy in the time spent with her family especially her grandchildren and great-grandchild. Nothing made her smile brighter than their laughter filling her home.

An avid supporter of Tennessee football, Judy’s Saturdays in the fall were sacred. Clad in orange, she could always be heard cheering, “Go Big Orange!” Her devotion to the Volunteers was more than fandom—it was tradition, pride, and joy wrapped into one.
