Judson A Blevins

Judson Albert (Judd) Blevins, 95, of Port Deposit, MD, passed away June 8, 2014 at
Union Hospital, Elkton, MD. He was born August 30, 1918 in Grassy Creek, NC, the
son of the late Rush Fields Blevins and Dorsey Ann Jones Blevins.

Named after his grandfather, Judson B. Jones, his family made the move from North
Carolina on March 4, 1929, packing all their worldly goods and children on the back of a
truck to Harford County, MD, settling in the Glenville area.

As a young man, Judd worked in farming and easily adapted to the hard work, a trait
that stayed with him throughout his life. He was always a hard charger with energy to
spare. Judd learned the electrical trade and worked as an electrician 39 years for
Charlestown Electric before retiring.

He loved his family, any baseball game, but especially the Orioles, enjoyed outdoor
activities, caring for his vegetable garden, tending to his flowers, and wintering in Florida
in the early years of retirement.

Judd is survived by his daughters, Susan Johnson and husband, Scotty, Elkton, MD,
and Sharon Kerns and husband, Michael, Perryville, MD; grandchildren Kimberly Golly
(John), Christopher Johnson (Janice), Timothy Patchell (Celeste), Jill Lee (Thomas),
David Buegel (Kari); 11 great grandchildren; and 1 great-great grandson; and numerous
nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his one true love and wife of 69 years, Bertha Elizabeth
Nickle Blevins, daughter Darla Buegel, brothers Jewel Blevins, Ray Blevins, and sisters
Jeston Blevins, Hursey Deboard, Lessie Hash, Liza Arnold, Mary Peake, Lois Holloway,
Nora Hamby and Genevieve Campbell.

The family thanks the nurses and assistants of the Calvert Manor Healthcare Center for
the loving and caring support provided during Judd’s stay there.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the American Macular Degeneration Foundation, P.O Box 515, Northampton, MA 01061-0515 or to your favorite charity in memory of Judson
Blevins.

MD with visitation from 10:00 to 11:00 and services immediately following. Burial will
be in Hopewell Cemetery.
