Judith Ann Cannizzaro's Obituary
NASHVILLE - Cannizzaro, Judith Ann
December 6, 1944 - February 16, 2024
A native of Nashville, Tennessee, Judy was preceded in death by parents, Mrs. Julia Sims Cannizzaro and Mr. Anthony Cannizzaro, and by grandparents Mrs. Grace Clifford Sims and Mr. Robert Randolph Sims, and Mrs. Frances Gatti Cannizzaro and Mr. Frank Cannizzaro. She is survived by her sister, Susan Anthony Cannizzaro. A graduate of Isaac Litton High School, Judy attended George Peabody College for teachers in preparation for her career in education. She was employed by Metro Nashville Public schools from 1965 until 2002, teaching at Walter Stokes Elementary School and John Trotwood Moore Middle School, serving as Assistant Principal at Moore and Principal at Joelton Middle School and District Level Coordinator prior to serving as the Social Studies Coordinator for Metro schools, grades K through 12. She taught Bible classes at Jackson Park Church of Christ where she was a member before attending Perry Heights Church of Christ. She enjoyed studying the Bible, traveling, antiquing, and most importantly, caring for and spoiling her pets. After her retirement, she pursued interests in cooking and genealogy, researching and writing the Clifford family tree. Throughout her life, she worked unselfishly to guide and care for her family and friends, always putting their interests and needs ahead of her own, all the way to the end.
A visitation will be held from 12:00 PM until 2:00 PM on Monday, March 11th, 2024, with service and burial to follow at Spring Hill Funeral Home and Cemetery.
