Judy was always a lover of music, a real fan of Elvis from day one, also in later years she liked country music. One other passion was she loved to dance any time she could. She for four years was a plant in the audience of the Smith Brothers a local lounge group, she would get up and dance on stage during one of their song routines. Many people come to her after she was done performing and would ask her where she learned to dance like that, and her answer was always I just had it in my blood and never went to a dance school. While living in Tucson, AZ Judy was called up on stage one time to dance with Buck Owens the country singer.

When Bob retired from the Air-Force she lived in Las Vegas and made her home there till her death. She came down with Arthritis in 2000 and back problems and could not do the dance scene anymore but still loved Elvis and country music.
