On December 14, 1955 she was married to the love of her life, Nolan Lee Huff. They were blessed with five beautiful children, Janeen, Brian, Denise, Dennis, and Melinda. With a strong love she took every opportunity to teach her children the beauty of music. The family enjoyed performing together all over the community adorned by costumes Judy hand sewed. She passionately taught her children kindness and service to others by going out of her way to help those around her. In addition to her busy home life, she held various jobs, her favorite being a piano teacher from 1955-2000, although she never really quit teaching. Along with teaching music she played the piano and organ in church and at funerals and weddings.
