She was a resident of Holmes for the past 39 years, coming from Philadelphia. She graduated from St. Hubert Catholic High School for Girls and Drexel University. Judy worked as a pharmaceutical research scientist for over 40 years at GlaxoSmithKline.

She was also a member of the local Republican club. Judy was a Phillies fan, enjoyed Broadway musicals, and was very fond of going to new restaurants with friends and family.
