Judy Camp, 78, of Peebles, remembered by Adams County family
Judy Camp's life linked Peebles, Seaman and Washington Court House through seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She died June 8 at Adams County Regional Medical Center at 78.
Judy A. Camp's family tree reached from Peebles into Seaman and Washington Court House, stitching together one of those Adams County lives that is remembered as much by place names as by people. The 78-year-old Peebles resident died June 8 at Adams County Regional Medical Center, leaving behind a large local family that spans several towns and generations.
Camp was born July 23, 1947, in Fayette County to Alex and Helen Geesling. Her survivors include her husband, Jerry Camp of Peebles; daughters Melissa Brown of Washington Court House and Jenny Camp of Washington Court House; son Jerry Camp of Seaman; and sister Vivian Marie Geesling of Washington Court House. The obituary also lists seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, underscoring how widely her family branch has spread across the region.
Among the grandchildren named in the notice are Alexa Marie Ault, Ainsley Arnold, Cody Brown, Cierra Kovach, Nick McFarland and Alex Camp. The great-grandchildren named are Colson Kovach, Hudson Kovach, Sutton Kovach, Jaxon Ault, Charlie Ault, Bo McFarland, Aidyn McFarland, Cade McFarland and a baby girl Arnold. For many Adams County families, those names will read like a familiar roster of kin, schoolmates and neighbors, the kind of family network that ties one household to several communities at once.
A memorial service will be held at the convenience of the family, with Thompson-Meeker Funeral Home in West Union handling arrangements. The family also said memorials may be made to the Parkinson’s Foundation in Judy Camp’s memory.
Camp’s passing also connects to one of the county’s central institutions. Adams County Regional Medical Center opened its upgraded facility on Aug. 6, 2007, after the county hospital’s roots were set in motion by a 1948 bond issue and the first patient was admitted in 1952. Today, the medical center serves the Seaman area with emergency care, rehabilitation, surgery, cardiology and family medicine, placing Judy Camp’s final days within a health-care system that has long been part of Adams County life.
