Franklin – Judy Lamm Avent, 78, left this world to be with her mother, father, and siblings on June 20, 2022.  Judy passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family.  She was born August 28, 1943, in Rocky Mount, NC to the late Woodrow and Annie Proctor Lamm.  She was predeceased by two sisters and one brother.

Judy retired from Southampton Memorial Hospital's Human Resources Department after over 30 years of service.  Feeling the need to stay busy she started working for Dr. Madhukar Kaloji in Pulmonary & Sleep Medicine.  She was also a member of Franklin Baptist Church and Sunday School Class.  So as you can see, she loved staying busy along with her community.

Judy is survived by her childhood sweetheart and husband of 62 years Johnny Avent, whom she loved dearly; her son, the light of her life, John Gregory "Greg" Avent and wife Suzanne; grandchildren Ashley Nichole Avent (Terry) the Sunshine of her life, Kent Boyce (Summer), Dylan Boyce (Christie), and Ashley Boyce; and great grandchildren, Caroline Elise Everett, the little princess, Darron Mobley, Courtney Mobley, Shelby Davis and Lilah Boyce.

Visitation will be held on June 24, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. at the Franklin Baptist Church.  The funeral service, led by Dr. Charles Qualls, will follow at 2:00 p.m.   Burial will follow in Southampton Memorial Park.  In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the American Lung Association or Franklin Baptist Church, Franklin, VA.
