She attended Northern Montana College for a year before transferring to Great Falls Vo-Tech, where she received her LPN in 1980. Judy worked for the Great Falls Clinic for some time and married Rob Wilson in Great Falls in 1985. The couple later divorced, and Judy returned to Havre with her young son. She worked for Northern Montana Hospital until 1993, when she was injured. She volunteered at the Havre Food Bank and the Giveaway House. In June 2011, she began operating Judy's Cleaning Service.

Judy was a soft-hearted, giving woman who loved to care for others. She enjoyed gardening, animals, reading, shopping, collecting various items, baking and attending basketball games. Judy was an avid Notre Dame and Joe Montana fan. Her greatest joy was spending time with her family.
