Judy married Richard J. Weiand on September 9, 1965, in Milwaukee, WI after first meeting at a college mixer dance.  She then joined the love of her life, Richard, in Northern Virginia where he was working for the Department of Navy.  Judy was the beloved mother of Anne Kasupski and the late Kristine Weiand; mother-in-law of Jeffrey Kasupski; grandmother of Kyle Kasupski and Kevin Kasupski; and cousin to numerous others.

As a teenager, Judy played trombone in her high school band and enjoyed listening to Pat Boone records. She was a “Miss Boston Store” in the early 1960’s. Judy earned her Bachelor’s degree in Math from Alverno College in 1965, graduating to become a teacher.  She taught high school math for two years at McLean High School in the mid-late 1960s.  After taking some time away raising two lovely daughters, she returned to teaching math at South Lakes High School in Reston, VA for 22 years before retiring.

Judy was an active member at St. Mark Catholic Church since 1975.  She was a religious education teacher in the late 1970s and a member of the Handbell Choir since its inception in 1986. Judy was a Girl Scout during her youth and later became a Girl Scout leader / co-leader when Anne and Kristine were in Junior Scouts. She supported both her daughter’s playing soccer and Anne’s competitive swimming, where she volunteered at home swimming meets.  Judy’s math skills were instrumental in assisting her grandsons, Kyle and Kevin.  She enjoyed traveling around Europe while visiting Anne and her family when they lived in Germany and England.  She enjoyed walks with her neighbors, vacations at the beach, cruising with Anne and her sister-in-law, Aggie, and her beloved cats.
