Judy was born December 2nd, 1957, in Lubbock, Texas, to Juanita and Ozell Chappell. She grew up in Floydada, where she married her high school sweetheart, Steve Lloyd, on June 5th, 1976. They farmed and raised a family in Floydada.
As a farm wife, meals were often delivered to a dozen or more hungry people. Parts were chased, some being retrieved from 350 miles away.
As a mother, Judy never backed down from a challenge. From learning how to coach archery to driving across the state for stock shows, nothing was too much for her to tackle. And she was always in the stands to cheer on kids and grandkids for sporting events and shows.
Throughout her entire life, Judy had a servant’s heart. Helping anyone she could, no matter how she felt. She always put the needs of others above her own. On days when she should have been in the hospital with pancreatitis, she would instead be found delivering the mail if a sub wasn’t available or preparing food so the guys in the field wouldn’t go hungry.
Along with the never-ending duties of a farm wife, Judy worked as a rural mail carrier for the USPS. Driving up to 100 miles of dirt (occasionally mud) roads, sliding her tires over rattlesnakes that made the mistake of crossing her path, and changing more than a few flat tires, she enjoyed her mail route for many years.
Survivors include her husband, Steve Lloyd of Floydada, Stacey and her husband Brandon of Bushland, and their children Sydney and Levi. Shane and his wife Malin of Floydada and their children Hannah, Marcus, and Hazel.
