Born on December 18, 1942, in Coffeyville, Kansas, Judy was the daughter of George W. Mitchell and Marian Douglas Mitchell. She grew up with the strong values of faith, family, and hard work that remained the foundation of her life.

Judy began her family with her first husband of 20 years, John Romig, and together they had four children. On August 20, 1989, she married the love of her life, Russell DaMetz, and together they blended their families into one filled with love and laughter.

She retired as a legal secretary from the Teacher Retirement System after many years of dedicated service. Judy was passionate about her Christian faith, and her greatest joy was caring for her family.
