Judy Carol Bejmowicz, formerly Judy Carol Austin, of Carrollton, Georgia, passed away peacefully on August 8, 2026, at the age of 70.
Judy was born on July 24, 1956, to her mother, Edith Powers, and her late father, Travis Austin. She was a loving daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, and great-grandmother who cherished her family above all else.
Judy was the proud mother of Tara Alewine (Billy Alewine), Jessie Smith (Shane Smith), Jerry Bejmowicz III and her late son Jerry Bejmowicz II.
She was a beloved grandmother to Hailey Alewine (Dustin Bates), Alyssa Bejmowicz, Jasmine Martin, Zackary Martin, Kiley Bejmowicz, Nova Bejmowicz, Jerry Bejmowicz IV, Skylar Bejmowicz, Issac Smith, Christian Smith, and Zach Smith.
Judy also held a special place in her heart for her great-grandchildren whom she considered her own: Austin, Waylon, and Janie Gail Bates. They brought her tremendous love and joy, and the memories they shared with her will remain with them forever.
Judy is also survived by her siblings, Kathy Pace, Mike Austin, Mark Powers, Judy Lyons, George Austin, and Shirley Kulp, along with the memory of her late sister, Jean Hardeman.
For many years, Judy drove the boys’ trade school bus for Cleburne County, a job that allowed her to spend her days helping and caring for young people in her community.
Outside of work, Judy was happiest surrounded by the people she loved. Family was everything to her. She was known for her love of baking, especially making delicious pies and cakes for the people around her. She also treasured her trips to the beach with her niece, Elizabeth Summerville, creating memories that her family will always hold close to their hearts.
Judy’s love, laughter, kindness, and devotion to her family will be deeply missed. Though she is no longer with us, the love she gave to her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, and everyone who knew her will live on through them.
She was deeply loved, she will be forever missed, and she will never be forgotten.
