Judy was born in Lebanon, Pennsylvania on March 22, 1939. She moved to Wetherfield, Connecticut in 1948. Judy graduated from Wetherfield High School in 1957.

In 1959 Judy married Wallace B. Butler and moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina where Wally was in dental school. In 1961 Wally graduated from dental school and we moved to Welcome, NC. We had five children, W.B. Jr., who died February 27, 2006, Lisa, Stacey, Paul and Lydia. We also have twelve grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Judy helped in the early years in the dental office as a receptionist and dental assistant. She has been working as a dental assistant and office manager for the past 31 years until our retirement in October 2010.

Judy is very active in her church and community. Known for her ability to raise money, many organizations ask her to help with campaigns and fundraisers. She has been volunteering for 37 years. Currently she is the fundraising chairman of her church helping to raise $1.8 million to date. Judy chaired the campaign for a new athletic complex at the North Davidson High School raising over $800,000. She raised the first million dollars for the United Way Campaign. She currently serves on several boards including: Chairman of the Women's Prison in Lexington, Communities in Schools, Path of Hope, Davidson County Medical Ministries and the Winston-Salem State Univertsity Graduate School.

Judy has been active in the Alliance of the NC Dental Society since 1961 serving every committee chair and held every office of the Second District and The State Alliance winning awards. She was a delegate from NC and sent to the National AADA convention for four years.

In 1997 Judy founded and organized the Welcome Easter Parade with over 100 entries participating from a number of states. This will be the 14th annual parade this year. In 2004 Judy organized the Red Velvet Cupcakes, a chapter of the Red Hat Society. In 2005 Judy started a support group for parents who have teens and adult children on drugs and alcohol.

Judy has been involved in humanitarian projects for many years and continues to spend her free time helping others.

She has received the Governor's Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service, Others Award from the Salvation Army, A. Odell Leonard Humanitarian Award, Woman of Achievement, and the United Way Campaign Chairman's Award. In 2008 Judy was first runner-up and in 2009 second runner-up in the Ms. Senior Davidson County Pageant.

Judy is known as "The Hat Lady" having over 300 hats. She performs her show to entertain for schools, churches and civic groups and also to raise money for many organizations.

Judy's work has enriched the lives of countless individuals in the community. The people whose lives have been touched by her work range from school children to college students, from healthy young athletes to adults with terminal illnesses, and from the disadvantaged to those more fortunate.

The Ms. Senior America Pageant is the world's first and foremost pageant to emphasize and give honor to women who have reached the "Age of Elegance." It is a search for the gracious lady who best exemplifies the dignity, maturity and inner beauty of all senior Americans. The Ms. Senior America philosophy is based upon the belief that seniors are the foundation of America, and our most valuable treasure. It is upon their knowledge, experience and resources that the younger generation has the opportunity to build a better society.
