Growing up her family traveled for her father’s military service; she lived in San Diego, CA, New Hampshire, Louisiana, Johnston Island, Hawaii, England, Las Vegas, Germantown, PA, and Portland, OR. She married Jose (Joe) Gyanti on October 24, 1963.

Judy worked as an X-ray Technician and later a CAT Scan Technician for Kaiser Permanente, retiring in the early 2000s.

Judy was an avid woodworker and gardener. She loved her cats! Loved her family and holiday get-togethers.
