Judy Dunn

Judy Carol Hearne Dunn, 77, of Albemarle, passed away Friday, April 15, 2022 at Anson Health & Rehabilitation in Wadesboro.

Judy was born July 30, 1944 in Stanly County to the late John Samuel Hearne and the late Nellie Eudy Hearne. In addition to her husband, Harry Charles Dunn, she was also preceded in death by her brother, Gary Hearne.

The family will receive friends Monday, April 18th, 2022 from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM at Hartsell Funeral Homes of Albemarle. The funeral service to celebrate her life will be on Tuesday, April 19th, 2022 at 11:00 AM in Hartsell Funeral Home's Lefler Memorial Chapel, officiated by Rev. James Valk. Burial will follow at Dunn's Grove Baptist Church Cemetery, 33803 Ridge Street, Albemarle.

Judy grew up in the Morrow Mountain area of Stanly county and graduated high school from the last Badin High class in 1962.  After graduation, she moved on to a career in the textile industry with her husband, Harry, where the two founded Stanly Garment Company. During her textile years she became an avid antique collector and worked for several auction companies; the last being Nance Auction.  She spent her last 15 years working at Still Oil company, where she and her son fussed daily. Most will remember her yard sales on Saturdays at the service station.  She worked hard and hustled 25 hours a day, but enjoyed spending her spare time with her grandchildren. She touched the lives of everyone who met her, and will be greatly missed by all.

She is survived by her daughter, Lori Ross (John); son, Jamie Dunn; step-son, Jackie Dunn; grandchildren, Jackson, Cooper, Jewell and Josie; sister, Peggy Springer (Roy); niece, Tonya Graeff (Shawn); and great-niece, Riley Graeff.

Memorials may be made to Wesleyan Church of Albemarle, 33713 Mann Rd, Albemarle, NC 28001.
