She graduated from Fremont High School with the class of 1963, where she enjoyed playing girls basketball and music. Following high school she attended Iowa Wesleyan College. On August 14, 1965, she was united in marriage to her high school sweetheart and love of her life, Larry Carriker, at the Central United Methodist Church in Oskaloosa. Following their marriage they moved to Ames so Larry could finish school at Iowa State University. While living in Ames, Judi worked at McFarland Medical Clinic. After Larry's graduation, the two of them moved to Fremont, Iowa. They were blessed with two wonderful sons, Matthew and Todd. Judi stayed home to care for her sons for a few years. Judi then joined Larry working at the family business, McCurdy Hybrid Seed Co. The two of them worked side by side for many years and enjoyed the trips they took all over the world to visit with various people about McCurdy Hybrid Seed. She retired from the family business in the mid-1980s. Judi gave selflessly of her time and talents to many family members and organizations in Oskaloosa.

Judi had a great eye for style and decorating; she enjoyed shopping for clothing and items to decorate her home. She was also asked from time to time to help her friends decorate their homes. She also enjoyed collecting antiques. Judi spent her life putting her family and others first. She was a special caregiver to her grandfather, uncle, and parents as they grew older. Judi and Larry truly enjoyed their children and grandchildren; they had a lot of fun keeping up with their grandchildren's activities. She felt very blessed to see her granddaughter Katie graduate from Iowa State University in May. She was also able to be a part of her granddaughter Katie's special day a year ago by helping her select her wedding dress.
