Obituary of Judy Fleming Evans
Judy Fleming Evans, of Waynesville, NC, took flight like the butterflies she loved, dying peacefully at the Maggie Valley Nursing Home on Sunday, June 28, 2020 following a battle with cancer. She was 79.
Judy was born on Spring Creek in Madison County, NC, on February 23, 1941 to her late parents, Harvey James Fleming and Reva Seay Fleming. She graduated from Spring Creek High School and went on to earn a nursing degree from Haywood County Community College. She worked for many years as a nurse in Haywood County and Buncombe County and later helped in her late husband Ray’s printing business in Weaverville, NC.
