Judy was born in Franklin on October 24th, 1942 to the late Walter and Mamie (Clapper) Lahue.

Judy graduated from BFA St. Albans in 1960, and shortly after, married Edward Corwell on September 15th, 1961. Together they raised their four children in Highgate, where Judy was a homemaker, known for her delicious meals – especially her homemade macaroni and cheese with hot dogs and her pickle salad. Judy and Ed loved to have fun, and music was a large part of their life. They frequently visited close friends and would enjoy house parties with Ronald & Joyce Bishop, and Nate & Betty Sweet. They also loved to go dancing at Silver Ridge with Louis & Joann Bushey. Judy and Ed enjoyed going to many country music concerts, dragging their children along with them. Judy’s love and care for everyone around was clearly felt, she was known to all the neighborhood kids as Ma, and would always make sure to fix an extra plate at the dinner table. Judy’s days were spent watching her soap operas, Jeopardy, Price is Right, Little Joe, on Bonanza, and NASCAR, she wouldn’t even answer the phone if the races were on. She and Ed always listened to Lee Bodet, on the Sunday morning talk show and sat at the kitchen table to enjoy coffee and watch the birds. Most recently Judy enjoyed staying up late to watch the Voice.
