Graveside services for Mrs. Judy L. Bruce will begin at 2:00 on Tuesday, June 2, 2026 at Forest Lawn Memory Gardens, with Rev. Rodney Baker officiating. Robert Barham Family Funeral Home is honored to be entrusted with the arrangements.

Mrs. Bruce, age 72, of Lauderdale, passed away on May 27, 2026 at Baptist Anderson Regional Medical Center.

Judy was born on October 10, 1953 in Chicago, IL. Shortly after she was born, her family moved back to Meridian, where she was raised. She worked for many years as an Accountant's Assistant, and following retirement, she was a devoted homemaker. Judy was a loving mother and grandmother, who loved her family more than anything else in the world. She enjoyed fishing, deer (and people) watching, and hunting (when her health allowed). She truly never met a stranger and was an open book - if you asked, she'd tell you.

Survivors include her children, Tammy Pace and Tonya Pace Jayroe (Sean); grandchildren, Cailen Pace (Justin Beason), Jabie Murray (Brandon Beckham), Eli Jayroe, and Lakelyn Garcia; one great-grandson (on the way), Colson Beckham; brother, Prentiss Hicks, Jr.; as well as a host of extended family members and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, William "Bill" Bruce.
