Judy Ann Dooms, age 74, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on April 24, 2019 at Hospice of the Ozarks in Mountain Home. Judy was born to Robert “Bob” Hall and Mary (Coats) Hall on December 17, 1944 at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. She was raised at Rison and graduated Rison High School in 1962.
She was united in marriage to Jimmy Dale Dooms on August 16, 1963 at Rison, Arkansas. Their union produced a son and a daughter. They also shared their home, time and love with several foster children. The Dooms house was a happy welcoming place, open to family and friends.
She lived the majority of her life in south Arkansas at Rison (Woodlawn), Pine Bluff and Redfield. Judy was a licensed cosmetologist and Licensed Practical Nurse, using her nursing skills working at Pine Bluff Children’s Clinic for seven and a half years.
Judy was a vivacious outgoing person. She had a lifelong love of singing. Whether sharing her voice in service to Our Lord or in casual gatherings around the piano, her strong clear voice was beautiful.
In 2001 they retired and soon moved to Mountain Home, Arkansas. Active in their church, they also enjoyed fishing and boating on the lake. She loved to talk and laugh but her favorite thing was to be surrounded by family, sharing and making memories.
