Judy taught at the Oklahoma State Tech in Okmulgee for two years then moved on to work at the Okmulgee Courthouse for ten years and later at Citizens Security Bank. She was always happy to help at The Blossom Shop on special occasions and was an active volunteer within her community including Church of the Redeemer, Service League, Okmulgee Country Club, Bedouin Shrine, Cancer Society Fundraisers and numerous others.
