She comes from a long line of famous potters and her mother, Mary Toya, and aunt, Fannie Lorretto, passed their knowledge on to her. Anita and Mary Ellen Toya are her sisters. Myra Toya, Vernida Toya and Sharela Waquie are her daughters.

Judy is best known for her storytellers and her one-of-a-kind nativity sets, Christmas ornaments and friendship pots.
