Judith "Judy" Goude Jordan of Davidson peacefully went to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, November 21, 2023. She was born March 29, 1935, in Gastonia NC. Always kindhearted and gentle towards others, Judy enjoyed time with her family and friends. Her family was of the utmost importance to her. Raised in Gastonia, she married her high school sweetheart, Harvie Cabell Jordan, Jr, in June of 1954. They lived for the next 30 years in Charlotte, where they raised four amazing children. They moved to Laurinburg NC in the early 1980s, then later to Mooresville where they added her parents, Henry and Willie (Bill) to the household. After Henry's death in1989 and Harvie's in 1990, Judy took care of her mother for the next decade in her home in Mooresville while continuing to serve as staff in the Davidson College Admissions Office. In 2000, her mother passed, and Judy retired and moved to Davidson. She remained active at the First Presbyterian Church in Mooresville where she served as both deacon and elder as well as a ringer in the bell choir. She also volunteered in her spare time at the Ada Jenkins Center, a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization helping those in poverty throughout Davidson, Cornelius, and Huntersville. Judy was preceded in death by her husband, Harvie, and her brother, Douglas. She is survived by her children, Judy Anne Getzlaff of Cleveland, NC, Harvie C Jordan III (Margaret) of Mobile Alabama, Jeffrey Jordan (Hannah) of Falls Church VA, and Andrew S. Jordan (Julie) of Wilmington NC, along with 11 grandchildren, 5 step grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, 6 step great-grandchildren, one step great-great-grandchild and myriad nieces, nephews, and cousins. Judy enjoyed time with her family and friends, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Whenever they were around, you could always find Judy playing board games on the floor, gathering costumes for dress up or leading the parade down to the playground. Her houses were always full of laughter and joy. A service celebrating her life will be held at First Presbyterian Church in Mooresville, NC, 249 W. McLelland Avenue, on Saturday, January 20, 2024, at 1:00. Visitation and reception will follow the service at the church. The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to all the hospice nurses, physicians and staff, the pastors, prayer groups, and friends for their unwavering compassionate and supportive care that was provided. Your prayers were felt, and the kindness will never be forgotten. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in her honor to the Ada Jenkins Center at Ada Jenkins Donations . Cavin-Cook Funeral Home and Crematory, Mooresville, is serving the Jordan family. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.cavin-cook.com.
