Judy graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Liberal Studies from Salem State College in 2004. She spent many happy years teaching guitar and particularly enjoyed seeing her students grow as musicians and performers. She also encouraged them to write their own songs. Judy's musical training began at home with music classes with her father and voice lessons with her mother. As time passed she also studied guitar, violin and drums. She produced her own CD of music that she composed and arranged for guitar, voice and other instruments. Her hobbies included antiquing, journaling, dancing and biking, but she also
treasured her cats.
