JUDITH “JUDY” DUDLEY ABRAMS
Judy Dudley Abrams, beloved child of God, was received into the presence of heaven on Friday, Dec. 13, 2025.
Her earthly life began when she was born March 1, 1941, in Opelika to her parents: Charles Glenn Dudley and Emma Wooddy Dudley. All her life, she cherished the community of Opelika, the place of her birth and life until her early adult years. She visited often and maintained close relationships with classmates, family and family friends.
She grew up in the most idyllic setting of extended family and close small-town living. Two blocks on the street where she grew up were where close family members lived, including her maternal grandparents, who provided her with a deep sense of family nurture and care. She attended Northside School where she first met classmates who would become life-long friends. They would continue together through the Opelika school system, graduating from Opelika High School in the Class of 1959.
She graduated from Auburn University with a degree in education, and while at Auburn she met and later married her husband, Aubray Abrams Jr. Following his commission in the Air Force, they began five years of military service. After fulfilling his military commitment, he began a life-long career as a pilot with Delta Air Lines. During their Delta years, they lived in Texas, Kansas, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Florida and Atlanta. Atlanta was their chosen home, and they resided in Stone Mountain for several decades. Judy was an active member of Decatur Book Club and Smoke Rise Garden Club.
Judy was an encourager and a collector of friends. Childhood friends from Opelika have remained steadfast relationships, as well as those she collected in the assigned cities with Delta. She is noted by her friends for being the one who remembered birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions in each family’s life. She wrote. She called. She visited, and always showed up in times of need. Even among the 25 Dudley first cousins, she knew by memory special dates in their lives and kept in regular contact.
Judy’s faith was a critical part of her life. She and Aubray spent many years as members and leaders at First Baptist Church of Decatur, Georgia. Judy was among the very first women in the Baptist community of Atlanta to be elected a deacon at Decatur First Baptist Church, and she served faithfully for many years in multiple capacities within their church family. Together they taught a large class of young married couples. The loving bonds formed there continued for years as Judy and Aubray served as mentors for these couples and their families.
As a child she learned early the value of extended family, and she created a sense of belonging and care in her own home. She filled it with beauty and a welcoming spirit. Her gardens were recognized by visitors and neighbors alike for their creativity and beauty.
Judy’s family includes her parents and her husband who predeceased her.
Beloved family includes: two children: Charles Abrams (Susan) of Kennesaw, Georgia and Catherine Abrams of Decatur; five grandchildren: Amanda Abrams Caldwell (Zachary), Beth Abrams, Christopher Choi, David Choi and Hannah Choi; two great-grandchildren: Aubray and William Caldwell; one brother, Dr. William Dudley, Signal Mountain, Tennessee; niece, Elizabeth Dudley Alford (Reece) and nephew, Clayton Dudley (Sara); and numerous Dudley and Wooddy-Rice cousins.
A graveside service will be held at the Wooddy-Dudley plot at Rosemere Cemetery on Sunday, April 19, at 2 p.m. with Dr. William Dudley, her brother, officiating. Friends are welcome to join the family for a celebration of Judy’s life.

A Mary Baldwin College graduate in Biology, Bets later earned a Master of Science in Botany from the University of Tennessee, where she met Mike. After marrying in 1972, she taught at Alabama A&M University for two years.
The couple moved to Auburn in 1975, where Bets taught Botany before transitioning to counseling once her son Chris reached junior high. She served at the Alabama Sheriff’s Girl Ranch, Children’s Harbor and a mentor’s private practice before opening her own Christian counseling practice in Auburn.
Bets deeply loved her family and treasured time spent together, especially outdoors. One of her most beloved places was her family’s Lake Margaret in Virginia, where loved ones gathered over the years to enjoy nature and one another’s company. Locally, Lake Martin was a favorite destination. She and Mike loved to hike in the Smokies and in the mountains of the Western US and Canada.

Whether walking around the neighborhood lake or spending quiet moments in prayer for others, Bets lived a life rooted in care, faith, and connection.

DOUGLAS ALEXANDER EDWARDS
Douglas Alexander Edwards, 73, passed away peacefully at his home on April 6, 2026.
Doug was born on May 25, 1952, in South Portland, Maine, to William and Winifred Edwards. At the age of eight, he moved with his family to Auburn, Alabama, where he grew up and later attended Beauregard High School.
He proudly served his country in the United States Army during the Vietnam War, a reflection of the courage and strength that defined his life.
Doug was preceded in death by his parents, William and Winifred Edwards; his brothers, Billy and Tommy Edwards; his sister, Judy Rodenbeck; brothers-in-law, Mike Bledsoe, Dennis Bledsoe, Jim Dean, George Turner and Donnie Moore; and his sister-in-law, Rita Bledsoe.
He is survived by his beloved wife of nearly 54 years, Gail Edwards; his daughters, Kim (Phil) Vessenmeyer and Mandi (Ryan) Simmons; and his son, Jesse (Jill) Edwards. He has five grandchildren: Camden McGinty, Lola McGinty, Alex Simmons, Tucker Edwards and Tess Edwards; and two great-grandchildren: Atlas McGinty and Orion McGinty. He also leaves behind his brother, Darryl (Sandra) Edwards; his sisters, Peggy Dean and Barbara Turner; his brother-in-law, Chris Bell; his sister-in-law, Carolyn Coker; his brother-in-law, Ricky (Janet) Moore; and his sister-in-law, Diane (Clyde) Geter; along with many extended family members who loved him dearly.
Doug was, above all else, a devoted husband, a proud father, a veteran and — without question — the toughest man his family has ever known. He worked multiple jobs before his disability, always doing whatever it took to provide for his family. His strength was not just in what he endured, but in how he showed up — day after day — with unwavering love and commitment.
He supported his children in everything they did. No matter how big or small the moment, he was there — encouraging, believing and loving them in a way that made them feel like they could take on the world.
For over five decades, Doug shared a deep and steadfast love with his wife, Gail. Their 53 years of marriage were marked by loyalty, resilience and devotion. Through life’s many challenges, Doug never wavered. He cared for Gail through three battles with cancer, standing by her side with quiet strength and fierce love. He didn’t just say he loved her — he showed it every single day.
Though he faced hardship, Doug never let it define him. Time and time again, he chose strength over surrender, determination over defeat. He kept fighting.
That is how he will always be remembered — a fighter.
