Judy was born Aug. 14, 1948, in St. Peter, Minn., to Gerald and Doris (Hauskins) Cooley.

On Jan. 2, 1968, she married the love of her life, Doug Spencer. Together, they raised three children while running her in-home beauty shop.

She was also a Sunday school teacher at the Elmore Methodist Church for many years, where she made a lasting impression on all the children.
