A graduate of Douglas High School, she worked at a young age for her mother’s construction business, Percy Guiou Excavating.

       Judith was very involved in her children’s lives. She attended most of their activities and sports games. She was also a Cheerleading Coach with her daughter April for Douglas High School for 20 years, where she influenced countless young lives. Her homemade cooking and baking skills were second to none.
