When she wasn't in a classroom teaching science, you could find Judy riding her motorcycle, camping, watching NCIS, watching NASCAR, attending country music concerts in Virginia Beach, spending time at her cabin in Capon Bridge, WV.

She loved her dogs, and especially during the last years of her life, was often seen with her dog, Willis.  Willis may have been a service dog, but he was her loving companion and was almost always by her side.
