Judy Elaine Maples' Obituary

Judy was a graduate of West Mecklenburg High School. She then attended Appalachian State University where she received a teaching degree.
Judy was an amazing Elementary school teacher. She loved vacationing at the beach, spending time with family, being active in her church at Pleasant Grove United Methodist Church, supporting anything her children were doing, cross word puzzles, answering all of the questions on jeopardy, solving every puzzle on Wheel of Fortune and cooking. Her greatest talent was making people feel loved and making them laugh with her quick wit. She had the ability to make anyone smile no matter what.
Judy is survived by her husband Hubert Maples Jr, sons, Peter Griffin (Carmen) of Shelby, NC and Jason Griffin (Kelly) of Mt. Holly, NC; daughter, Lindsay Canupp (Chris) of Locust, NC; and grandchildren, Chase, Eleanor, and Victor.
