She had two children by her first marriage, Mandy Tucker and Larry Stonecipher, Jr. She met her loving husband, David Finder, in 1990 and they married on February 19, 1994. Judy loved her family and friends deeply, cherishing every moment together. She spent so much time and effort being there for her grandkids and great-grandkids to create special memories. Judy lifted everyone up even when she was down. She would light up the room and never knew a stranger. Judy showed such love for others and had an amazing ability to connect with everyone she met. Judy worked for Bassham Foods for over 28 years and loved the Bassham family and her co-workers dearly.

Judy was a faithful Christian attending the Cowboy Church of Ellis County in Waxahachie. She loved attending church and meeting weekly for fellowship, prayer and Bible study with her Connect Group.
