Judi was born April 30, 1949, in Dubuque, the daughter of David and Delores (Cook) Wertzberger. On October 12, 1973, she married David E. Weydert at Nativity Catholic Church, Dubuque.

She was a hairdresser for over 50 years, graduating from Capri Cosmetology College in Dubuque, where she later also taught classes.  She first worked at Stardust, then quickly opened her own salon the Looking Glass on Asbury.  She took a break to start her family, then went to the Main Event for a few years and then opened the New Image Styling Salon in Asbury which she operated for over 30 years.

Judi enjoyed traveling to many places, all across the United States in particular, including many National Parks, visiting her family and loved the ocean. She traveled to Europe as a young person and studied art.  She got great joy out of entertaining for her family and friends on holidays or special occasions. In her free time she golfed and was a avid bicyclist, taking part in RAGBRAI. She was active in her church, and also did hair for the Sisters of the Presentation. Her most cherished time was spent with her grandchildren.
