On April 6, 1963, she married her first and only love, Jon Lympus at the Little Brown Church.

Judy cherished and adored time with good friends and family. She enjoyed playing cards, crosswords, classic westerns, casino trips with her siblings and was the game show queen. Judy loved supporting all her friends and family activities and was also an avid fan of Iowa women’s and men’s basketball and never missed a Caitlin Clark or Cubs game.
