Judy was born January 14, 1946 to Robert and Ada Gorham. A lifelong Austinite, Judy graduated from Austin High School and was as an employee of AISD where she worked for nearly 20 years until illness forced her retirement in 2003.

On June 12th, 1965 Judy married Dewey, the love of her life, who would be with her until her last day. They raised two sons, DuWayne and Jason and enjoyed spending time with friends and family at her parents lake house in Granite Shoals,Tx. Judy was a devout Christian and enjoyed the time spent with her church families at First English Lutheran Church and then later in life at Great Hills Baptist Church. Judy was always active in church, teaching Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and as a Bible Study Fellowship teacher.
