Judith was born in Akron, Ohio, and attended Magnolia High School in New Martinsville, West Virginia. She later attended and graduated from W. Liberty State College in West Virginia. Before retiring to Florida with Bob, Judith spent much of her life raising her two children. She also worked as a cashier at the World Famous Spags Supply in Shrewsbury for 10 years, Liberty Mutual Insurance as a clerk, and NorthEast Airlines as a flight attendant.
In her free time, Judith enjoyed sewing, bowling, tap dancing, and traveling, especially cruising.
Judith had a huge heart and was always helping those less fortunate. She supported the ASPCA, St. Jude, and would give back to local organizations as well. During the pandemic, Judith used her expertise in sewing to make masks for healthcare workers.
Her fun and loving spirit afforded her many friends in her lifetime, some that have passed on. Her two closest friends are Kathy Grana and Betty D’Ericco.
