Judith graduated from Westside High School in 1961. She began her journey within the library system starting out part-time, then she and Ms. Janie Berry were on the Anderson County Library “Bookmobile” visiting the neighborhoods all over Anderson County for several years. With her love and passion for books this journey spanned a total of 36 years.  After retirement, this passion led her to serve at the Anderson County Library at the Westside Community Center and volunteering her time at Welfare Baptist Church library. 

Judith joined New Harmony (Emmanuel) United Methodist Church at an early age. As an adult she served in several ministries including pianist and choir, Sunday school teacher, Lay Leader, a member of The Golden Ages, historian, and The United Methodist Women. As her health declined, Judith was unable to physically attend church but was always online to participate in bible study and Sunday service.
