She attended elementary school in Irondequoit, where her family moved when she was two.

She also loved hiking and camping and was active in the Girl Scouts throughout high school. An avid writer, when Judy was 11 years old she wrote and illustrated her first “novel," a story about her beloved parakeet “Sparky." My Little Sparky was followed by several other short novels and a book of poems.
