Judith grew up in Funkstown, MD and was a 1960 graduate of South Hagerstown High School. She graduated from Sinai Hospital's Diploma Nursing program in 1963 and worked at Washington County Hospital for 34 years as a Labor and Delivery Room nurse, helping to usher in many newborns. Her job was very rewarding for her.

She has one grandson, Bryan, who has always been very special to her. She loved attending all his baseball and soccer games when he was young. She enjoyed many activities even though she struggled with depression. She enjoyed camping with her husband and exploring areas in the eastern USA. She was an excellent seamstress, cross-stitcher, jewelry maker and crafter of all things.

Judith enjoyed reading and loved her kitties, Abby and Katie. She belonged to the Christian Women's Club in Hagerstown, where she shared her love of Christ and fellowship among Christian women. Her faith was very important to her.
