Judy Park Adair, 73, died peacefully at her home in Tupelo on Friday, August 23, 2024. Judy was born on March 13, 1951 in Lee County to the late Richard “Buddy” Park and Reba Vernell Franks Park. She grew up on the family farm in the Union community south of Plantersville. Judy was a joyful person to be around. On February 17, 2013, she married Leroy Miller at Verona United Methodist Church where they were members. She was full of life and loved her family. She enjoyed doing word search puzzles and watching game shows, while drinking her favorite drink Dr. Pepper. No other drink would do-not even water was good enough. She loved her family very much, especially her grandchildren and her dog, Buster. Judy’s favorite time of the year was Christmas. She would go all out for her family to make sure everyone had the best Christmas.
