Judy Marie O’Brien, age 72, of Garnett, Kansas, passed away on Tuesday, April 30, 2019, at St. Francis Hospital, in Topeka, Kansas.

She was born on July 29, 1946, in Iola, Kansas, the daughter of Homer Julius and Marie Alice (Miller) Smethers.  Judy graduated from Kincaid High School in 1964.  Judy pursued a business degree from Fort Scott Community College.
