Judy was a graduate of North Union High School, class of 1957. She received a Bachelor of Science in Education from Indiana State College (now IUP) and a Master of Arts from West Virginia University. Judy was a teacher and reading specialist in the Laurel Highlands School District, where her passion for reading and education touched and inspired many young lives. After her retirement from the classroom, she continued to serve the district as a member of the Laurel Highlands School Board.

In her retirement years Judy enjoyed supporting her grandchildren at their activities and sporting events, spending time with her family at the beach and volunteering at the Fayette County SPCA. Judy also participated in various quilting groups. She was a very talented quilter and leaves behind many beautiful quilts and wall hangings as a lovely remembrance.
