Judith Williams Reynolds, 77, of Big Island, departed this heavenly earth on October 22, 2026. Born in Lynchburg on July 28, 1949, she was the daughter of the late Bill and Doris Williams.

Family was always at the heart of Judy’s life. She shared more than 40 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Bobby Reynolds, building a life filled with love, laughter, and countless memories.

Judy’s memory will be cherished by her husband, Bobby Reynolds; her sister, June Williams; her children, Kim Scott, Butch Coles and wife, Ginger; her grandchildren, Jennifer Williams and husband, Jon, Robert Scott and partner, Jessica, Elizabeth Ryder and husband, Lyunden, and Victoria Coles; her great-grandchildren, Makayla Dispanet, Nathan Crews, Landen Crews, Kurt Mitchell, Jase Witt-Williams, Paisley Williams, Haiven Scott, and Sienna Scott; and her great-great-grandchildren, Carter and Grayson Dispanet. She will also be fondly remembered by numerous other family members and friends.

In addition to her parents, Judy was preceded in death by her beloved stepson, Reggie Reynolds.

Judy was known for her warm personality, quick wit, and wonderful sense of humor. She had a gift for making people feel at ease and could bring laughter to even the simplest of conversations. Her playful sarcasm was part of her charm, but beneath it was a deeply caring woman who made a point of telling the people she loved just how much they meant to her.

Throughout her life, Judy formed lasting friendships and meaningful connections with people from all walks of life. Whether through her years at the Credit Union, her time at the bowling alley, or the many relationships she built along the way, she touched the lives of those around her. Above all, she treasured her family and the time spent with those closest to her.

Judy leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. She will be remembered for her generous heart, her unmistakable sense of humor, and the genuine affection she showed to those fortunate enough to share in her life. Though she will be deeply missed, the love she gave and the memories she leaves behind will remain with her family and friends for years to come.
