On August 24th, 2019 I became aware of the passing of Judy Prince Peavy Lindley. I was very saddened to learn Multiple Sclerosis was the cause of her decline and recent death. When I think of Judy Peavy, her charming, erudite and engaging personalty comes to the forefront. I knew her to be a genteel, kind and refined lady. She was invariably friendly and personable. Always classically beautiful and very, very stylish. I am sure she was “many things to many people” of her wide acquaintance. I remember her best, for her fabulous sense of humor. Her infectious ‘sing-song’ laugh would send me straight into laughter even if I had somehow failed to “get the joke.” In a manner of speaking, she reminds me of the joyful and delightful qualities of the 1970’s highly popular TV comedic characters of “Ann Marie,” “Mary Richards” and “Mariette Hartley” all ‘rolled into one.’ Judy was certainly a loving, lighthearted, intelligent and endearing person. I remember being told, that as a teenager while living in Nacogdoches, she and her girlfriends would reenact the famous ‘couch scene’ in exacting detail, where the three characters dance over and onto the overturned couch during the song, “Good Morning” from the 1952 film, “Singing in the Rain.” I am certain the actress, Debbie Reynolds, would have felt highly complemented, if she had only could have k n o w n of the great comedic effort and skill involved in their cheerful amateur reenactment! I am also unable to forget I adopted and occasionally had good reason to use, one of Judy’s classic amusing lines of “too bad, so sad!” Just being in her presence just made you feel “good” as she was just a genuine pleasure to be around. She was a very fine person that I will always fondly remember. Rodney and Judy Peavy were really wonderful Christian people and I am so very honored to say I once knew them both. I wish to send my love and extend my sincere and heartfelt condolences to their children, Kevin and Tracy.
