Judy E. Holford

March 3, 1944 - January 4, 2021

Judy E. Holford, 76, of Peoria Heights, passed away Wednesday, January 4, 2021 at her home in Peoria Heights. She was born March 3, 1944 in Peoria, IL to Judd and Burnette (Blue) Holford. Surviving are her two sons, Gary (Kitty) McCartney and Audie McCartney both of Creve Coeur; six grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by seven sisters and five brothers. Judy worked as a Bartender for many years at several Peoria Area establishments. She enjoyed tinkering and rearranging her furniture all the time. She will be missed most for being the lady with the most Christmas lights and for being the MacGyver of the neighborhood. She could make something out of nothing and loved to repurpose things. Cremation will be accorded and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Schmidt-Haller Burial and Cremation services are in charge of arrangements. Memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society or to the Center for Prevention of Abuse in Peoria.
