She was born March 30, 1940 in Hartville, the daughter of John and Eula (Prock) Jordan. On Aug. 28, 1959 in Springfield, she was united in marriage to the love of her life, Ronald Earl Wihebrink, who preceded her in death on Sep. 9, 2021.

Judith grew up and attended school in Hartville, graduating from Hartville High School in 1958. For 25 years, she was employed by FASCO Industries in Cassville, as a welder, from where she retired.  Judith found happiness in being outdoors while fishing and hunting, she also enjoyed woodburning, crafts, and crocheting. Later in life, she loved sitting quietly in the bay window of her home, watching wildlife in the surrounding woods. Yet, nothing brought her more happiness than spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her kitchen was an area of love and learning, where she taught them to make cinnamon rolls before they were even one year old, a tradition that sprinkled sweetness into their lives. These cherished little ones were her pride and joy. The lessons Judith imparted to her daughters were a reflection of the life she led. One of her greatest life lessons was caring for those in need, along with loving and giving. Since 1972, she had been a member of Mill Street Church of Christ.
