Celebrating the life of
Judy Nunn Mason
March 21, 1945 - March 09, 2020
Judy Nunn Mason, 74, died tragically on Monday, March 9, 2020. She was a native of Savannah, GA, a graduate of Savannah High School class of 1962 and valedictorian of her class at Armstrong State College. She received a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education from Georgia Southern University and began her teaching career at Carrie E. Gould Elementary in 1966. Judy married Holbrook Louis Mason of Savannah on August 12, 1967 at Calvary Baptist Temple where she was an active member until her death.
After a career of more than 30 years in teaching, Judy retired from Calvary Day School working as the elementary librarian. After retirement, she became full time care giver to her beloved grandchildren. Judy was an avid reader, a selfless giver, member of the Sweet Spirit Sunday School class, and Women’s Mission Union. She spent much of her time serving others and as a devoted caretaker to her husband. Volunteering her time was an important part of her life. Well known for her love of reading, she happily portrayed Mother Goose and The Cat in the Hat to many children throughout the community for many years. Always loving to tell a story, she captivated the hearts of her listeners.
Judy is preceded in death by her parents, Louie and Ruby Nunn. She is survived by her husband of 52 years, Holbrook Mason, as well as her 3 precious children: Susan (Doug) Robertson, Laurie Gaylord, and Barry (Kristen) Mason. Judy is also survived by her 8 grandchildren who were her pride and joy – Evan Gaylord, Matthew Robertson, Davis Gaylord, Morgan Robertson, Michael Robertson, Mason Gaylord, Hampton Mason and Harris Mason and also several special cousins.
Visitation will be 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., Friday, March 13, 2020 at Fox & Weeks, Hodgson Chapel.
Funeral Service will be 10:00 a.m., Saturday, March 14, 2020 at Calvary Baptist Temple.
Burial will be in Hillcrest Abbey Memorial Park.
Pallbearers are Curtis Carter, Doug Robertson, Evan Gaylord, Matthew Robertson, Davis Gaylord, and Michael Robertson. Honorary pallbearers are Brent Wills, Mason Gaylord, Hampton Mason and Harris Mason.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks donations be sent to Calvary Baptist Temple.
My prayers are with you at this time.

So very sorry to learn about Judy’s death. Many fond memories of working with Judy and Holbrook in the concession stand at Calvary! Prayers for Holbrook and the family!

Judy was my Godmother. When I think of her I think of her family. She was a devoted daughter, wife, mother and grandmother. Her family has always come first. She was always upbeat and proud and passionate about her kids and grandkids. Holbrook was the other love of her life as he so eloquently stated during their 50th anniversary. Judy should be remembered as someone to aspire to. I know that she is now home with Ruby and Louie and all the women who called her niece for so many years.

Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. PERPETUAL PRAYERS.... Matt, Ingrid & Parla Parker & Parker & Cole Brigman

I am extending my deepest sympathy on behalf of myself, the staff and students of Growing in the Son Academy. Ms. Judy was always so faithful and loved coming to read to our students. Her joy of reading was apparent and the children always enjoyed her visits! She made it a priority to come read every year that Hampton and Harris have been with us. Please know that we are praying for your family and may the peace of God that passes all understanding bless and keep you all. Michele Newsome & GIS Staff
