Judith Ann "Judy" Hart

Judith “Judy” Ann Hart, 86, of Searcy, passed away on Friday, March 6, 2026, at her home. Born on March 25, 1939, in Attleboro, Massachusetts, to the late George H. White and Margaret Knowles (Shattuck) White, Judy proudly served her country as a veteran of the United States Air Force, enlisting in February 1960. After her military service, she continued her commitment to helping others through her work with the VA as a clerk in the psychiatric department.

A faithful member of Saint Paul Global Methodist Church in Searcy, Judy found deep joy in serving her community. She sang in the church choir, participated actively in the United Women’s group, and lovingly contributed her time to the Prayer Shawl Ministry. She and her husband, Roy, shared a profound love of travel, exploring destinations across the world and creating many cherished memories together. Above all, Judy treasured time with her family, especially during the holidays when their home filled with loved ones gathered around good food, laughter, and one another’s company.

She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Roy Hart; her children, Mary Hart, Donna Hart, Vickie Hart, and Kathleen Hart; son-in-law Danny Bailey; grandchildren Amy Garcia, James Hart, Andrew Hale Sr., Anna Hart, Ashley Dorsey, and Alex Dorsey; great-grandchildren Dominic Rael, Daniel Rael, Madison Rael, Andrew Hale Jr., Dylan Garcia, Isabella Garcia, Savanna Miller, Hunter Hart, and Prudence Harmony Dorsey; great-great-grandchild Lola Alana Rael; as well as extended family members and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents and siblings.
