After two years, the couple returned to Roanoke in 1966 where she continued her teaching career until their older son was born. Judy and George purchased Harris Office Furniture Co., Inc. in 1976. While co-owning Harris Office, she began to become very active in local and national church committee's with the Church of the Brethren. Judy was on the Church of the Brethren General Board from 1985 to 1990, serving as chair of the board her last two years. (The General Board is now the Mission and Ministry Board. Judy was licensed to the ministry by the Williamson Road Church and Virlina District in 1991. Judy felt called to leave the day to day operations of Harris in 1992, when at the age of 51; she entered Bethany Theological Seminary, earning her Masters of Divinity in 1994. She was ordained on May 29, 1994. From 1993 to 1995 Judy served as the Moderator Elect and Moderator of the Church of the Brethren.

Judy retired in 2003, but continued to preach in pulpit supply, lead workshops, and served as Interim Pastor for a year at her home church, Williamson Road Church of the Brethren. Judy's life was miraculous and exemplary. She suffered heart damage and lived with cardio myopathy since the age of 27. This would have diminished a lessor person. Judy gave her life to Jesus after having a meaningful experience as a young child at Camp Bethel in Fincastle. She sought to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, looking through the denominational window of the Church of the Brethren. She was nurtured in God's message by the Hollins Road and Williamson Road Church of the Brethren church families, Camp Bethel, the Virlina District, and various denominational and ecumenical ministries. Judy loved life and her family. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and servant of the Lord. She delighted in seeing Cardinals, Roseate Spoonbills, and Great Blue Herons. Her grandsons, Bailey and Bryson, were the "apple of her eye"! She enjoyed reading and playing solitaire. Judy thanked God for the beautiful gift of life! She hoped that her legacy would be the message, "to live each day to its fullest"!!
