Judith Pope Cole

Obituary Judith Pope Cole, 80, of Morehead City, went to be with the Lord on Thursday, November 11, 2021. She was born in Atlanta, Georgia to the late Walter and Eloise Pope. A memorial service will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, November 20, 2021 at the familys home, 200 S. 34th Street, Morehead City, NC. Judy was blessed with a loving family. She was married to the Rev. C. King Cole of Morehead City, NC for 58 years, who describes her as the love of his life. In addition to her husband, she is survived by her daughters; Reagan (Gary) LaFleur and Heath Knight; her grandson, Aaron LaFleur; brothers Tom and Kerry (Roxanne) Pope and sister, Dale Meyer, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her brother, Rick (Beverly) Pope. Judy was fun-loving, witty and creative. She never saw things as an obstacle but as a challenge from rebuilding her Volkswagen engine, moving a door in her kitchen and designing and building a spiral staircase. Judy had a wood working shop in her garage and taught herself to create many beautiful pieces of glass etched art for family, restaurants and the boating industry. Judy served as the Director of Childrens Ministry at her church as well as volunteering at the local library and the museum. She is dearly missing by her loved ones, who celebrate the fact that she is at peace with her Creator. The family would like to give special thanks to Kathy Nevis who became part of the family and cared for Judy. The family would also like to thank Marilyn Whitley, Hospice nurse Robin and family friend Gene Wilson for loving and caring for Judy so well.
