After her years at the conservatory, she moved to Boulder, CO where she met her husband, Charles Clark. They raised their family in Amarillo, TX and later moved to Albuquerque, NM. There she started a very successful finishing school called, The Judy Clark Studio; which impacted the lives of countless young women.

She had a beautiful soprano voice and sang in the church choir. She volunteered with the Amarillo Symphony Guild, Saint Catherine’s Guild, and Amarillo Opera Guild.
