Judy Sullivan

Judy Ann (Cox) Sullivan, age 64, of Linton, passed away on Thursday August 6, 2026. Judy was a beloved Gram, sister, mother, and friend. Born on August 3, 1962, to Mary Lou and Bud Conklin.Judy was one of those people who could turn almost anything into a craft. She loved to color, draw, paint, and create, and was proudly known as the “Duct Tape Queen.” If there was something that could be decorated, painted, colored, or made into something new, Judy could find a way to do it. She was obsessed with cows, loved all animals, especially her beloved Charlie.One of Judy’s greatest joys was watching her grandchildren play sports. She loved being in the stands, cheering them on. She loved her Thursday trips to the Pub, where she enjoyed a good meal and the familiar company.Judy spent many years as a stay-at-home mother before later working at Dollar General, where she met so many people who came to love her.She coached her daughter’s softball teams and spent years bowling on a team. One of the greatest things about Judy was that she never limited her love to the child she gave birth to. She was a second mom to many. Her home was always full.Her grandchildren were among the greatest joys of her life.Judy was also someone who believed that love didn’t have to end when relationships changed. She remained close with her former husband, Joe Sullivan, after more than 20 years of marriage, and shared a warm relationship with his wife, Martha Sullivan, as well.She is survived by her daughter, Summer Joe Ann Sparks; and son-in-law, Trevor Sparks; her grandchildren, Ryder Joe, Baya Ray Ann, and Gracelynn Sparks; her brother, Larry Cox and his wife Anna; her sisters, Belldonna Hancock and her husband Dennis, Sharren Anderson and her husband Don, and Teresa Carpenter and her husband Danny; as well as her many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.She was preceded in death by her parents, MaryLou and Bud Conklin, her brothers, Glen Cox, Owen Cox, and Rodney Cox; and her sister, Tina Collins.Rest easy, Mom.We will carry you with us.Arrangements have been entrusted to Welch & Cornett Funeral Home of Walton Funeral Service Inc.A Celebration of Judy's wonderful life will be held at a later time.Online condolences can be shared at www.welchcornett.com.
