Judy graduated from CASHS in 1964 and immediately went on to be a secretary for the Public Roads Division in Washington, DC. During her time there, she and Ken exchanged many letters which she kept banded together for keepsake. She moved back after a short time because she didn’t like being away from her love.

She loved spending time with her best friend, Shelda Kell-Neubaum of more than 50 years. They loved thrift shopping every Wednesday and did lots of local shopping and lunch on Sundays. Judy also spent every day visiting and spending time with her mother who also had Alzheimer's.
