Born in Paterson, NJ, Judy grew up in New Milford and spent many summers in Highland Lakes and the shore, with family and friends.

She was a graduate of Hackensack High School, and Fairleigh Dickinson University. She resided in Livingston where she worked and raised her family. She enjoyed a fulfilling career as a dedicated teacher at Our Lady of Sorrows in South Orange, and later at Aquinas Academy in Livingston, for 35 years. She was a lively and passionate teacher, who enjoyed each and every one of her students.
