In 1945 Judy met the love of her life, Kenneth Hufferd, when he offered to change her flat tire on her Model A. As Kenny would say, that was history, and they were wed on September 4, 1949, in Emporia, Kansas. They moved to Liberal, Kansas for a short time where Kenny worked for Panhandle. Later in 1949 they transferred to Haven, Kansas where they had their first child, Darrell, in 1950. In 1953 they had their second son, Doug, and in 1959 they had their third child, David.

In 1970 they transferred to Louisburg, Kansas where they spent the rest of their life together. Kenny retired from Panhandle in 1985 and they began enjoying their retirement by purchasing a motor home and wintering in Texas. Judy loved to play cards and taught her grandkids how to play all kinds of card games. She loved spending time with her family and friends, including being a part of a bunko group, a bridge group, and playing dominos at the Louisburg United Methodist Church where they were long-time members.

Judy was preceded in death by her parents, her son Doug and daughter-in-law, Gail, and grandson Clint Ziegler.
