The Beloved Judy Carol Tinin Hayes – Age 64, passed away October 14, 2025, in her Hometown Nashville, TN.

Mrs. Hayes is preceded in death by her Husband, Vernon Woodard Hayes; Son, Danny Ray Thornton; Father, Charles Tinin; Mother, Mary Nell Gentry and both brothers, Jimmy and Charles Tinin.

Survived by her son; David Thornton and His wife Annisha Thornton; Her daughter, Stephanie Hayes; and 13 Grandchildren, Brianna, William, Robert, Gunner, Kaylee, Kloe, Kayden, Logan, Danny, Nathan, Abigal, Gracie, Brooklyn; and her sisters; Vickie, Elaine, Rosie, Mary and Trisha.

Plus, so many more nieces, nephews, and other family members that she loved. Judy wasn’t just a light in this world. she was a wild fire. Full of love, life and fearlessness. She was a profound lover of the Tennessee Vols and Watching Nascar on Sundays. A free thinker who didn’t bite her tongue or shy away from tough conversations. she was an open book with chapters filled with love, laughter, heartbreak and pain. She weathered storms and stood tall when things got tough. a fighter, a mother, a sister, a grandmother and friend to many. Her roar was loud, and her love was forever. She embodied the power of a woman and the heart of a lion.
We will carry her fire and love in our hearts until we meet again.
