Her family moved from East Vail to Marble where she grew up and attended Marble school until 8th grade. With her father's passing, they moved to Glenwood Springs where she graduated from High School. Judy was united in marriage to Harry E. Hughes on June 28, 1953 in Glenwood Springs.
Judy was an Avon representative for 50 years in Glenwood Springs. When she was not busy with Avon she was a member and past worthy president 3 times for the FOE Lodge #215. She was also a member of the Marble Historical Society.
She had a special love of art and tried her hand with oil, pencil and watercolor. In one of her first art classes, she and the classmates, under teacher Dan LeVan, enjoyed it so much they started the Glenwood Springs Art Guild, which launched in 1962.
