Judy's Story

Life I was not very involved in school activities during high school because there were so many church youth activities that occupied my time - early morning Seminary, dance festivals, roadshows, volleyball, dances, service projects, youth conferences, etc. My best friend Kris Bishop and I were practically inseparable during high school. We went just about everywhere together. I attended CR for a year after HS, worked at Ramada Inn for the summer of 1977 and then moved to Provo, Utah to attend BYU with my dear friend Loretta Kirby, driving her Mustang from CA to UT in the Fall of 1977. I did not graduate, but worked and attended various classes over the 5 years total I spent in Provo. In the midst of those years I volunteered 18 months as a missionary for the LDS church in New York and Massachusetts, where I met many wonderful people. I returned to Provo and worked at the hospital for 3 years. In 1984 I had an urge to make a change in my life, so took a job as a nanny for a Hercules executive in Wilmington, DE. Four months later I met my husband at a New Year's Eve party. I have been in the MD/DE area for 24+ years now, raising two daughters. Becca is a gifted writer with a keen intellect. Shawna is a gifted artist, whose singing has received rave reviews. I keep busy trying ...Expand for more
to manage home and family and a Branch of Eagle Nationwide Mortgage Company in Delaware with my dh. Church activities keep us busy as well. No longer taxi mom, as both girls drive. As of September 1, 2007, Becca is in Moscow, Russia, teaching English to school children as a volunteer until December 2007. She has finished nearly two years of college and will resume in January. Her writings appear in various places on the internet, usually RP or critique sites, under assumed names. Shawna just started college and works part time at a restaurant. The manager chose her as one of the best servers for a high profile customer recently. Her photography teacher is very impressed with her work. She is very good with children and plans to teach. We had a wonderful 2-week vacation in Utah/Idaho/Wyoming summer 2007. I visited with a couple dozen friends I hadn't seen in 23 years. My family fell in love with the area and would love to live there. We'd have to get used to the altitude, but my allergies are much better there. DH and I went to Myrtle Beach, SC in September and enjoyed a show called "Legends in Concert". If you ever get the opportunity to see it, it is wonderful! The celebrity impersonators are sooooooooo good! Judy Downey Shepherd (bright red hair if you don't remember)
