Rowing is one of Judy’s passions, and she’s had great success with it, competing up and down the country since picking up the sport in her 50s. A highlight in her rowing career was in 2017 when Judy, along with her rowing partner Alison, competed in The World Masters Games, winning a silver medal in the 1000m Women’s Pairs.
She currently holds the title of top women's single sculler in the 70-75 year age group in New Zealand and is second in the North Island for the 65-75 year age group.
Adventure is in Judy’s DNA. She’s always up for hitting the open road and exploring the fantastic wilderness that Aotearoa has to offer. When she’s not rowing, Judy loves to hike. And she’s no stranger to several hard South Island trails.
Having a lifestyle this active and busy means that Judy doesn’t want to be worrying about her home while she is away. She chose Ryman’s Murray Halberg Village because it suits all her needs, right down to the location near the water as well as all the safety and security benefits.
“It’s a lock up and leave it situation,” she says.

Warnings are being sounded over possible cuts to the Department of Conservation's (DOC) resources on the West Coast.
Almost 15% of the region's land area is administered and staffed in some way by DOC.
The West Coast region has key national visitor sites like Franz Josef Glacier and Punakaiki, dozens of other recreational and heritage visitor sites, and five National Parks either within the region or reaching across its boundaries.
Baseline operating expenditure funding for the Western South Island region for the current financial year is $11.675 million.
West Coast Poutini Conservation Board member Dr Barry Wards, a former Forest and Bird president, said the board should be advocating the department's cause to an incoming government that is looking for savings.
"I get the sense there is a lot of things that are going to come up that are going to cost."
He feared a compromise in the department's capacity for "holding the line" when the new Government was signalling a 6.5% cut to the Public Service.
"It's only going to get worse," Wards said.
Questions of "what might have to go" and whether the department was discussing "cutting back" needed to be aired. Therefore, the board might have a role to play advocate over funding, Wards said.
"From my position, I think this board has the responsibility to advocate for funds not to be cut," he added.
DOC Western South Island director Mark Davies said he could not comment if cost reductions in the department's budgets were even being considered at this early point.
"That is the work of the Government," he said.
He noted there would be a natural transition for the department with the new Government set up.
"We are in the process of adapting to a new Government and a new minister's direction."
That included the department now having three ministers to report to: Conservation, Hunting and Fishing, and Oceans and Fisheries.
The department would also be hosting the sectariate for the new Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, Davies told the November 30 meeting.
He noted the transition in the change would be "a learning experience".
However the director-general of Conservation would be briefing the Government at a 'high level'.
"This is work that will go on between now and Christmas," Davies said.
Chairperson Mike Legge said a general discussion was already underway between conservation board chairs nationally about approaching the new minister, Tama Potaka.
"It hasn't gone very far yet. I think we need to get the measure of the minister," he said.
Davies said the board should "be patient" given the new administration was still being briefed to "get a clearer picture".
He expected the implications to become much clearer from February.

Historic access to the Denniston Incline in Northern Buller has reopened after being closed since Cyclone Dovi in February 2022.
The access, administrated by the Department of Conservation, became unstable as slips came down during the cyclone.
Conns Creek Rd provides access to the foot of the historic Denniston Incline, just inland from Waimangaroa.
The road was once the track bed for a 2.7km branch railway from Waimangaroa to take coal coming down the Denniston Incline for transport the Westport wharves.
The incline, once described as "the eighth wonder of the world", worked from 1880 until its closure in 1967.
It is administered within the DoC Denniston heritage area.
Conns Creek Rd is also the route for the Buller District Council water supply pipeline to the settlement of Waimangaroa.
The road closed while repairs were carried out on significant slips caused by Cyclone Dovi.
DOC Buller area manager Suvi van Smit said the road had about 10 slips along its length, or one slip about every 100m.
"It also affected the water line to Waimangaroa. The track is now open to the public."
However, while pedestrians could now get in, it was not yet suitable for ordinary vehicle access, van Smit told the West Coast Conservation Board.
DOC was working with Heritage New Zealand on historic stone culverts along the road.
The Buller District Council started a $2.3m project in September 2022 to replace its water line, which was completed in winter 2023.
Meanwhile the nearby historic Britannia Track, also administered by DOC, has been closed since early 2021 following a major slip on a rock overhang about 1.2km from the car park.
The historic 12km long pack track leads to the historic Britannia stamper battery towards the Denniston Escarpment.
Board member John Taylor asked if the department had now "written off" the track.
Van Smit said the main erosion problem was at the bottom end of the track due to stream incursion but there were also "large slips" along the track.
"It's very unsafe but due to be reassessed in February."
