Judith McCarthy, 53

Judith McCarthy, 53, gained her angel wings on September 3, 2021 after a brief battle with cancer at The Ohio State University Medical Center. Judy was born in Chicago, IL on November 26, 1967 to Carol Mowery and the late Dolly (Frazier) Mowery. 

Mrs. McCarthy spent 30+ years in education at Meigs Local Schools shaping the young lives of many students in the area. Her greatest joy outside of work was spending time with her family and spoiling her three grandchildren. Judy loved cooking and hosting family gatherings being surrounded by loving family and child laughter. Her lap was never bare relishing in cuddles from her loving grandchildren. 

Judy is survived by her loving husband of 36 years, Gregory McCarthy. Additionally, she leaves behind a daughter Kayla (Ryan) Buckley and a son Jonathan (Amanda) McCarthy, three grandchildren; Brynn Buckley, Zane Buckley, and Avary McCarthy, two sisters; Kim (Ben) Dowell and Tammy Regevig, and several nieces and nephews. Judy made numerous friends in the education sector and loved many as family that will miss her dearly. 

The family invites friends and family wishing to express condolences at Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home in Pomeroy on Tuesday, September 7 from 6-8 p.m.  Private family graveside services will be held at the convenience of the family.
