She was born in Brooklyn, NY and was the daughter of the late Helen and Clifford Coombs. Judith graduated from Glens Fall HS, NY and SUNY Oneonta, with a BA in English.

Judith was a member of The Cathedral of St. Peter parish where she was on parish council; for 14 years served as president of the parish's St. Vincent DePaul Society and coordinated many fund raising activities for the church. She enjoyed writing poems and novels. Her life was family, church and her clients.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations be made to the St. Vincent DePaul Society at the Cathedral or St. Peter's Cathedral School, same address as the church, whose mission to educate the children of the surrounding area was of particular importance to her.
