She was the second daughter of Walter H and Leah Maxine Miller Ketels. She attended country school graduating from Montezuma High School in 1959. In 1963 she graduated from the State College of Iowa as a business major. She was named Miss Future Female Business Executive in 1963 by the college. Judi began her career with the JC Penney Company while in college. She held several jobs with the retailer, often being the first woman named to a position, including being the first female management trainee for the company. In 1974, she was promoted to company headquarters in New York City. After over 25 years with JCP, she retired and moved to Arlington, VT in 1989. In Vermont, she thrived on hiking, reading, touring and volunteering in the village. Judi started her own company, "Walking Tours of Southern Vermont." She led groups hiking inn-to-inn with the help of a history, nature or photography guide and aided by lamas as pack animals. With this venture, she could share her beloved Green Mountain State with others and she stated "they were the best years of my life." In 1996, Judi was diagnosed with cancer and she closed her hiking company to focus on regaining her health. She then worked for several business and later owned a Curves franchise in Bennington, one of the first in Vermont. In 2005, after selling her business and her home, she retired again. She purchased a 32' motor home and with her beloved cat, Lilly, began traveling around the country. She traveled extensively throughout the US visiting the places she had longed to see. This quest ended when her declining health brought her back to Vermont in February, 2013. Judi enjoyed meeting new people and hearing about their travels. She also loved nature, a good laugh, reading, volunteering, and her family and friends.
