Judith Ann "Judy" Jensen was born Feb. 28, 1940, at Correctionville, Iowa, the daughter of Walter and Hazel (Zerfing) Hansen. The family moved to their farm east of Anthon, where Judy grew up and graduated from Anthon High School with the class of 1958.

On Nov. 26, 1961, she was united in marriage to Conrad H. "Connie" Jensen at the United Methodist Church in Anthon.

During this time, Judy also worked as a bookkeeper for several local businesses and later provided that same service at Terra in Anthon for 20-plus years.
