She went on to live in Concord, CA; Vallejo, CA; Pierre, SD; Hot Springs, SD; and Bullhead City, AZ. In Hot Springs, she was widely known for managing the local Community Action Agency throughout most of the 1990's. She was a beloved, humble woman who enjoyed spending time fishing, camping, playing cards, and being with her friends and loved ones. Judy was preceded in death by her grandparents, parents and her daughter, Tymber Yvette Lloyd.
