Judy Mora

Judy Mora died tranquilly in her sleep on Tuesday morning, April 19, 2022, at The Baptist Home in Chillicothe where she was treated with kindness and care for the last three years of her life.
Judy was born peacefully at home on Ninth Street in Trenton in 1939.
The daughter of Buel Potter and Nadine Allen, she and the Potter family moved between California and Trenton for much of her childhood.
Judy married in Long Beach, CA in 1959, divorced, then remarried in 1963 to John Humphrey in Colorado Springs, CO.
Judy lived much of her life in California, coming back to Trenton in 1980 with husband, John (who became Trenton’s police chief) and daughter, Barbara.
She was an excellent homemaker and the mother of two daughters, Kristi and Barbara. She was stepmother to her husband John Humphrey’s children, Jami, Wayne and Terry.
Knowing it’s never too late to follow a dream, in about 1984 she began her nursing degree at Trenton Junior College and completed it in Colorado. She then worked as a nurse in California.
Clearly, she was a traveler. Late in life she married Joe Mora and RV’d with him in the U.S. and Mexico. They settled in Georgia so she could be near her grandchildren, Emily and Ethan.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe and son, Terry.
She is survived by her children; Joe’s children; her grandchildren; and the Hughs, Allen and Potter families of Missouri.
There will be a graveside service on Saturday, April 30 at 2 p.m. at Edinburg Cemetery, followed by lunch at Coon Creek Baptist Church.
In lieu of flowers, donations are suggested to The Baptist Home of Chillicothe, where Judy lived her last days.
