Judy later became a member of the Zion Lutheran Church in rural Storm Lake where she served on various committees. She truly enjoyed playing the piano and organ for numerous churches. Judy went from a city girl to a full-fledged farm girl. She worked as the co-owner of Scott Sievers Trucking and loved trucking and working side by side with her husband, Scott, in their trucking business. For the past eight years, the two of them spent much of their time relaxing on their pontoon boat. Judy was always up for a challenge, whether it be woodworking or home renovations. Judy was excited to establish and involve herself within the Storm Lake community. She was appointed as a Buena Vista Regional Medical Center Foundation board member and a Lakeside City Council Member. Judy was a woman of many talents and hobbies. She loved expressing herself through her piano playing. She was also a fantastic cook, who enjoyed having a houseful of people to entertain. For Judy, a loud house meant more memories were being made! Judy spent much of her downtime being creative. She was known to make homemade cards and beautiful quilts. In fact, she lovingly made a unique quilt for the birth of each of her nine grandkids. Judy was an incredible grandmother who would drop anything to see her little ones. From fishing and playing catch to cuddling on the couch before bed, Judy was the epitome of love. She had a helpful heart and was always putting others' needs before her own.
