Judith was born on Monday, February 22, 1943, Huron, South Dakota to Wray and Bessie (Devries) Roush.  She attended school in South Dakota and throughout her adult life, she worked as a Special Needs Bus Aide for the public school system.

When the weather was right, Judith loved gardening and had a knack for making anything grow. You would say she had a "Green Thumb."
