Judith (Judy) Ann West was born February 23, 1941 in Chicago, Illinois to John and Christine Benedict. Judy had two siblings, Ellie Lacy and John Benedict. Judy’s family moved to Sylmar, California in 1946 where Judy graduated from San Fernando High School and attended a beauty school to become a cosmetologist. During Christmas time in 1959, she met Donald (Don) West who later became her husband. At that time Judy was working for Warner Bros. on the movie My Fair Lady. They courted and were married on May 12, 1961 and lived in Sylmar, California. Judy and Don were blessed to have two beautiful children, Mark West and Susie Evans. Both Judy and Don were cosmetologists and owned their own salons for years in Glendale, California, until they decided to leave California and on April 3, 1979, they moved to Mount Angel, Oregon. They found a place to call home and started a salon and continued to be cosmetologists for the next 39 years. They were very involved in the community volunteering for many different activities, events and organizations. Judy and Don also did a lot of traveling and enjoyed their many adventures together.
