Judy F. Sullivan, age 77, of Vernon, FL, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, July 18, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on July 22, 1946, in Jackson County, FL, to the late Merrit Franklin Bruner and Alice (Gary) Bruner. Judy was a lifelong resident of Washington County and graduate of Chipley High School. She spent most of her career in the medical field, helping to care for others in various capacities. She was a devoted Christian and it showed through her life of ministry to others, serving in Sunday School, children’s ministry, singles’ ministry and music ministry. She was an encourager and enjoyed many close friendships. She had a keen sense of humor and faced hardships of life with grace and grit. Judy was a faithful member of Blue Lake Baptist Church of Chipley for over 30 years.
Judy was a treasured mother and grandmother, not only to her biological children, but to numerous children she embraced in her heart. She is preceded in death by her parents, Franklin and Alice Bruner, her loving husband, Morgan Douglas Sullivan, and her son, Scott Owens.

Judy was always a dear friend to me, from the first day I met her. She forever had a beautiful smile each time I saw her. A special person would not do justice to her, she had so much life and love for all. My love to all your family for healing after your absence.
