Judy grew up on a farm at Borgman and graduated from Kingwood High School at the age of 16. She graduated from Morgantown Business School and worked for Lovings Furniture in Morgantown. Judy married Miles Jenkins on June 29, 1956 and settled at Bull Run, where she remained through her life. The union resulted in three children, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. During this time Judy and Miles, along with their brother-in-law and sister-in-law, built and operated the Moonlight Roller Rink in Masontown for several years, providing a recreational outlet for many area youths. Judy could be found tending her flowers and plants or tapping along to a hearty polka.
