Judith Ann Hand

Judith Ann MacKay Hand passed away at home, surrounded by family on September 7, 2016. She reluctantly left behind three children, Nathan Sarah Ann O’Neill, Kelly Patrick O’Neill-Exley and John Andrew Hand along with two grandchildren, Liam and Miranda who were the light of her life. Judy is survived by her soul mate Joel Sturdivant, her father John Robert MacKay, sisters Donna MacKay Black, and Nancy Bjorn Hansen MacKay. Judy was preceded in death by her mother, Beverly Wood MacKay.

She quenched her thirst for life by creating exquisite pottery and traveling to new and exotic places. Her gardens will forever reflect her passion for nurturing plants and the planet. Judy’s strength and grace will forever be remembered. A memorial service will be held on October 3rd at 10am at the Chapel of Perimeter Church 9500 Medlock Bridge Road, Johns Creek, GA. Memorial donations may be made to Ovarian Cancer Research Fund or Hudgen’s Art Center in Duluth, GA.
