Judy was born on August 25, 1946 in Gifford, Iowa to her parents Adrian and Jane (Wilson) Dickenson. She was raised in Gifford and graduated from Eldora High School in the class of 1964.

Judy was united in marriage to Roger W. Martin on October 18, 1969. He brought two wonderful sons to the marriage whom she loved very much. The couple was then blessed with three beautiful daughters of their own. They made their home in Gifford for 10 years and then happily settled in Eldora for the rest of their lives.

Judy was a long-time member of the Eldora United Methodist Church. She loved to bowl, golf and other outdoor activities. She was also fond of doing work in her yard. She was wonderful at needlework and crafts and loved all the time she spent doing them. Her true joy in life was her family, especially her children and grandchildren.

Judy is survived by her children Rick (Kari) Wolcott, Cory (Lee) Sickler and Courtney (Mark) Lee; son-in-law Nate Kane; 10 grandchildren; 1 great-granddaughter; many nieces and nephews and significant other Jody Steelman.
