Judy grew up in Hungry Hill and attended Our Lady of Hope School. She graduated from Ursuline Academy in 1961, and Our Lady of The Elms College in 1965. She pursued a career in teaching, and worked for the Enfield, CT and Springfield, MA public school systems, and was a substitute teacher in East Longmeadow and Springfield.  Judy lived in Longmeadow for the last year.
