Judy graduated from Geneseo High School in 1964. She married her husband, Joe, July 1, 1967, and together they managed the Big M in Bushnell's Basin. Eventually they became proud owners of the Mendon Big M for ten years. Judy also earned three associate degrees from Monroe Community College. As a member of the Central Western Zone, Judy enjoyed officiating college and high school volleyball, basketball, soccer and softball. She and Angie Sansevero were the first females to officiate women's basketball in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY. She loved to be outdoors and enjoyed swimming, skiing and boating. Judy also loved traveling...Africa, Bahamas, England, Hawaii, Paris, Switzerland, and Cruising. As all of Judy's friends know, whenever anyone asked what time it was, she would always look up at the sun and say, "It's Miller Time!"
