Judy Ann (Perry) Lykins

Judy Ann Lykins of West Liberty, KY, passed away Saturday, September 18, 2021 at St. Claire Regional Medical Center, Morehead, KY, at the age of 69 years, 7 months, and 5 days. She was born Wednesday, February 13, 1952, at West Liberty, KY, daughter of the late William Gardner “Bill” & Mattie Marie McKenzie Perry.

She was united in marriage to Phillip Nelson Lykins on May 29, 1971. This union was blessed with identical twin daughters, Christy Shayne & Wendy Elayne. Judy worked for Morgan County ARH for several years as a Collections & Revenue Cycle Manager before retiring in 2019. She was also a talented seamstress, quilter, and gardener.

Judy was the epitome of being a Christian, and knew the bible inside and out. She had a strong witness to everyone she met. If you had a prayer request, you knew Judy would be on her knees praying, as she was a true Prayer Warrior. She was a longtime faithful member of the West Liberty First Baptist Church, where she was a Sunday School Teacher, a former Youth Group Leader, and VBS Director.

Judy had a fun loving personality and loved to joke around with people whether she knew you or not. She loved her family more than life itself. She will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, and will be missed by all of her family, church family, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William “Bill” & Mattie McKenzie Perry; two brothers, Larry Scott “Scotty” Perry and Billy Eugene “Pete” Perry; and her father-in-law, Repherd Lykins.

She is survived by her loving husband of 50 years, Phillip Nelson Lykins; her twin daughters, Christy Shayne & Dr. Kevin Holbrook and Wendy Elayne & Chase Frederick all of West Liberty, KY; four grandchildren, Samuel Ethan Salyer, Canaan Bently Frederick, Chase Reed Frederick, and Mattie Elizabeth Frederick; one brother, Oliver Curren & Phyllis Perry of West Liberty, KY; her mother-in-law, Zola Lykins of West Liberty, KY; and sisters-in-law & brother-in-law, Marcia & Chuck Evans of Madisonville, KY and Janice Perry of Beaver Creek, OH; and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
