In her late teens, she married Jack Schueller and had her first son, Randy. Sadly, she was widowed at the young age of 20.
A few years later she was remarried to Jerry Connor and moved to Illinois. She and Jerry had two more sons over the next several years, Bill and Steve. They lived in various small towns in central Illinois before settling down outside of Lincoln in Jerry's hometown of Beason.
After raising 3 sons, Judy went to work at the Lincoln Medical Center where she was in charge of medical records. She retired in 2000.
Judy enjoyed annual vacation trips to the Ozarks with family and friends and for several years she and Jerry would spend much of the winter months in Cancun.
