Judy was born, June 22, 1941 in Buncombe County. Judy accepted Christ as Her Savior in April 1983 and was a member of Mt. Sheba Baptist Church.

She loved looking at her flowers and watching the birds. But, her greatest joy was her family and being there for all of them. She raised five children and two of her granddaughters, Meghan Wilson and Rebekah Schindler, after their mom passed.
