She eventually landed at the State of California as a Staff Services Analyst at the Department of Consumer Affairs and retired from there after 13 years.  During her employment at the state of California, she met and married her second husband, Carl William Wishman.  They were married until he passed away in 2004.  Judi then never remarried but remained a widow until her death.  After retiring, she moved to North Carolina and then landed in Gig Harbor, WA until she passed.
