After participating in the school chorus for the duration of her school career, she graduated from Warner Robins High School. From there, she attended both Middle Georgia College and The Georgia College & State University, graduating with a master’s degree in special education. Judy became a teacher, touching the lives of children across middle Georgia at various schools such as Northside High School, Houston County High School, and her alma mater, Warner Robins High School. Judy ended her rewarding career by working at the Houston County Board of Education office before retiring in 2013. From 2011 to 2020, Judy was the original executive director at the Heart of Georgia DDM, where she faithfully served.
