Judith Ann Cossey passed away October 30, 2023, at her home in Edmond, Oklahoma, surrounded by family. Judy was born on August 19, 1956, in Oklahoma City, to James and Carolyn Mitchell. She attended Norman High School and achieved an Associate Degree in Nursing from Oklahoma City Community College, where she was a member of the Dean’s Honor Roll.

During her life, Judy worked as a hairstylist, and as a nurse in Oncology. She was a member of the Methodist Church and had many hobbies. She loved watching and playing sports with her friends and family, especially football and softball, as well as attending concerts and watching movies at the theater. She loved animals and bred Great Danes and Persian cats. Judy enjoyed travelling; one particularly memorable vacation was the trip she took to Padre Island together with her siblings.
