Judy Lynn Roebuck Baker lived a devoted life of service to God and her family for 71 years. She realized the promises of her faith on Sunday, April 16, 2023 when she transformed from this life to life eternal. Judy was born in Tupelo on July 12, l951, the only child of Walter Elmer “Son” Roebuck and Helen Josephine Ivy Roebuck. She lived on the Roebuck family dairy farm in Palmetto her whole life. Judy was a pleasant soul, was a master housewife, homemaker and an excellent cook, a trait learned from her mother. She loved gatherings and, for years, masterminded the Roebuck and Ivy family reunions as well as being in charge of many events at Doty Chapel Baptist Church, her home Church. She loved the outdoors, working her flower beds, camping, traveling and watching cooking videos, especially Brenda Gant. Judy had a sweet, Christ-like spirit that brought joy to her immediate family, her extended family and all those who loved her.
