Judy Ann Whitaker passed away on July 3, 2023, at Reston Hospital surrounded by friends and family.

True to her loving and generous spirit, Judy was born on February 14, 1950. She was raised in Johnson City, Tennessee, and graduated high school in 1968.

After graduating high school, Judy moved to Virginia with her loving brother, DS Wilson, and sister-in-law Gloria Wilson. While living in Virginia, Judy met her lifelong partner, Alfred Kanney. She formed a special bond with Alfred's children and grandchildren over the years.  While in Virginia, she also met special lifelong friends including Rose Trammel, Yvonne and Bob Johnson, Diane and Dennis Omwake, Anna Davis, and others.

After years of diligent service, Judy retired from Booz Allen Hamilton. She was not only exceptional at her job, but she truly cared about the connections she made and people she worked with like Cathy Hall and Dan Plaza.

Judy was a loving and loyal "dog mom" to her dog, Nina, and her other dogs that preceded Judy in death. Judy's love for her dogs was unmatched as she met the highest standard for the definition of a "dog mom".

She is survived by her sister-in-law, Gloria Wilson, nephews David Wilson (Janet), Michael Wilson (Kris), and Douglas Wilson (Caren); 8 great nephews and nieces; friend and caregiver Rose Trammel (Joe); and caregiver Deja Trammel. Judy was also a loving and devoted "adopted" mother to Tara Tinsley Pelitere (Chris), Joseph "Moe" Trammel, Marcus Trammel (Victoria), and Darnell "Dude" Davis along with a host of "adopted" grandchildren. She was a cherished friend to many and will be greatly missed.

In addition to her parents, Judy was preceded in death by her brother, DS Wilson, and her partner Alfred "Al" Kanney.

In lieu of flowers, we are asking for donations to be made to a local animal shelter or pet adoption agency as Judy was a huge animal lover.
