Judy McMahon Obituary

I knew Judy a long time ago. My memories of her are positive and loving. My sorrows to her family and friends.

Jerry & Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. What a wonderful lady Judy was. I know my parents Flora & Dick Condon enjoyed seeing her through the years. Now they will all be dancing a jig and raising their glasses together.

Judge McMahon was a trailblazer and mentor to so many. Everything she did, she did with Grace and humility and she made this world better as a result of it. Thank you Jerry, Sarah, and her family she loved so much, for unselfishly sharing her with us. I will miss her and always remember those tender teaching moments.

As a State Senator, I had the distinct pleasure to nominate and help elect Judy to be the first female statewide judge in South Carolina history. What an accomplishment! She made all of us proud to support her as a family court judge. More importantly, she was a wonderful person of integrity and compassion. Our prayers for her family's loss. We will remember her and mourn her passing.

Jerry, May you and Judy's family be surrounded by love and support. John

How fortunate I feel to have recently reignited a friendship with Judy, sharing a small group in Joanne Ellison's community Bible study and taking many walks around Hampton Park while Dewey pursued his most recent advanced degree from the Citadel.
Judy greatly appreciated her life in downtown Charleston, especially the botanical beauty of all her surroundings, including Hampton Park. She created her own gorgeous backyard Charleston garden and supported the seasonal garden and home tours, often touring the same venue multiple times to share them with family and friends.
I was one of the lucky ones to have practiced law in her Courtroom. What a wonderful Judge she was, always thoughtfully listening to all sides with compassion and a strong sense of duty and service.
Judy and I shared a love of travel, especially to our mutual ancestral home of Sicily. Judy always felt fortunate to have such dear men in her life, Wells, Jim and Jerry. Jerry, our hearts ache for you!
Family was always so important to Judy. She spoke often of her sisters and brothers, but most often of her dear Sarah, of whom she is most proud. And how excited she was to see the birth of her precious Grandson, over whom she will be keeping watch.
Salute, good and faithful Servant!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Jerry: I am sorry for your loss. Judy was a brilliant judge and an even better person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Jerry, Sarah, Marie and Woolbright and Lentine families: Judy was a courageous, caring judge with a kind demeanor and a warrior spirit. It was my great honor to serve her floor leader for her historic election as the first women to serve as a statewide judge in South Carolina. When I later joined her as a member of the South Carolina Judiciary with another first, we began many years of service together. She was "primes inter pares"-first among equals. Today, I salute my dear Sister in the Law. Requiescant in Pace. Jean Toal

My good friend Jerry, Susan and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Judy. I know what a terrible loss this is to not only you, but your family and friends. Judy touched many, many people in a positive way and she will always be remembered with great affection. We Pray God will shower with strength and solace during this very trying time.

Jerry and Family:
Please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of your dear wife, mother and sister.
I first met Judy in law school and had the pleasure of knowing her there-after in the legal world. She was an excellent attorney and, more importantly, always a very nice person. God bless Judy.....

She paved the way for many of us. And she did it with such grace

Dearest Jerry, we were so very sorry to hear of beautiful Judy's passing, RIP. A wonderful lady, with an infectious smile. I'm sorry that I can't be with you all to say goodbye to Judy in person, but please know that your Ennis family are thinking of you, and are sending love and condolences. Xxx

So sorry for your loss Jerry

I am so sadden to hear of the passing of Judy.I had the pleasure of attending high school with Judy at Edmunds High in Sumter. She was a couple of grades above me, but that was not an issue. Her brother, Mike was in my graduating class. We spent many mornings talking before school. I was thrilled and so happy for her
when I learned that she had been appointed Family Court Judge. She was so sweet and kind, I know she would be great as a Judge. Your family are in my prayers as you go forward without her. She will always be with you in your heart.❤❤❤

We were 16 cousins, now 15. Judy is the first to go. I will always remember her as the sweetest, kindest, beautiful soul. My sympathies to all who loved her.

Our love and prayers are with you and all the family. Many wonderful memories since we were 15. We will truly miss our Judy.

No doubt she was a wonderful woman who accomplished many wonderful things. Hoping your family can find peace and light in such a dark time. Love to everyone.

We enjoyed the positive perspective of "Judge Judy" over the years. Her welcoming smile and artful flower arrangements made everyone's life all the better.

Judy was the best of us.

Jerry
Give your mind lots of time to process what has happened.
Time sweet time!
