Judy Clark Myers

Judy Clark Myers, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and Opelika native, passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at Bethany House in Auburn, Alabama.

Born on July 8, 1948, in Columbus, Georgia, Judy was proud to be a “Pepperell Kid,” having grown up in Pepperell Village in Opelika during the 1950s. She attended Opelika High School and Smiths Station High School.

In 1972, Judy moved to Florida and Virginia before returning to Opelika in 1978. She retired in the 1990s from Auburn University.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Jerry Myers; her father, Walter A. Clark; her mother, Desma Bean Clark Anthony; her brother, Tim Clark (Brenda); her sister, Brenda Clark Cannon (Robert); her grandsons, Scott Jenkins and Philip Lahr; and a great-grandson.

Judy is survived by her three children: Kevin (Kristin) Brown, Wendy Brown Dean, and Kathy Brown Daugherty; her grandchildren: Jeffery (Dana) Jenkins, Danielle (Melvin) Kilpatrick, Lauren Reaves, Emily (Jess) Sharpton, Tyson Brown, and Josh Brown; and five beloved great-grandchildren.

She is also survived by her sister, Lyenda Clark Sasser; several nieces and nephews; and many dearly beloved cousins who brought her great joy throughout her life.

Judy was a strong presence in the lives of those around her. She faced life on her own terms and leaves behind a family that will remember her and the stories and bonds she helped shape.

A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 11 a.m. at Jeffcoat-Trant Funeral Home, with Dr. Rusty Sowell officiating.
