Judy Slayton Moss

Judith Ann Slayton Moss, 86, of 1289 Buford Road, went Home to be with the Lord on Thursday, February 19, 2026 after a decline in health for several years. Judy was born in Roxboro, NC on January 14, 1940, a daughter of the late Gerald Slayton and Geneva Vass Slayton Lakey. On July 11, 1958, she married Marvin L. Moss, who predeceased her in 2020. Judy grew up in Danville, where she lost her father at an early age but was loved by her mother and extended Slayton family. Judy worked for many years for Dr. Pritchett as office manager and was a friend to The Pritchett Family. Judy played a vital role in the family business, Moss Home Improvement Inc., where her gift for organization and office skills was of critical importance to the success of the family business. “Behind every good man is a strong, and wonderful woman.” Words cannot begin to describe the magnitude that Judy loved her Family, friends, and anyone she encountered. Many times, she could be heard sitting on an airplane or standing in line saying to a stranger, “Hi, I am Judy Moss, what is your name.” Judy seemed to sense people’s needs and was there for them to provide support in conversation and in her actions accomplishing whatever needed to be done. Judy was the definition of a “fun loving person” and would organize every holiday, birthday, or other opportunities for people to gather into a major party event. As a Grandmother Judy knew no boundaries to participate in activities with her grandchildren which included motorcycle riding, hayrides, dressing up as a clown or scarecrow, sleigh rides, adventures around the Family Farm, golfing and the infamous annual beach trips where she cooked breakfast daily and cooked her delicious chocolate pound cakes. Judy was an excellent cook, and many times was accused of not sharing the entire recipe. Judy was a member of Vandola Baptist Church where she served on many committees, loved singing in the choir, and served on several mission trips; Judy was a true believer in Christ and her life exemplified it. Judy is survived by her two sons, Mark Moss (Susan), Ken Moss (Sherry); three grandchildren, Landon Moss (Leah), Clayton Moss (Kaiti), Kyndal Moss; two great-grandchildren, Elijah Decker, Allie May Moss, and a number of nieces and nephews, and her beloved dog, Sandy. Judy was predeceased by her brother, Richard Slayton, and grandson, Ryan Moss. The Family wishes to thank all of those who offered comfort and care to Judy during her decline in health; we will be forever grateful. Visitation will be held from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM on Sunday, February 22, 2026 at Vandola Baptist Church, 1950 Vandola Church Rd, Danville, VA. Funeral services will be held at Vandola Baptist Church on Monday, February 23, 2026 at 2:00 PM with Pastor Brian Patty and Dr. Scott Bortz officiating. Interment will follow in Danville Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, the Family has requested donations be made to Vandola Baptist Church WMU. Wrenn-Yeatts Westover Chapel is serving the Moss family.
