During her childhood, she and her parents, W.C. "Dub" and Lillian Flanagan, moved around the south to places such as New Orleans and Little Rock.

The Flanagans moved back to Texas before Judith started high school, where she would become an accomplished ballerina and spent years dancing for several companies in Texas, including the Houston Youth Allegro Ballet.

A knee injury ended Judith's dance career, but didn't break her ambitious spirit. She took a bookkeeping job that would lead her to rise the corporate ladder at Xerox, eventually becoming an executive in sales and marketing in Huntington Beach, CA.

Being a creative at heart, Judith left the corporate world after only a few years to pursue life as an actor. She excelled in commercial work and enjoyed success in TV roles on such shows as "TJ Hooker," "Days of our Lives," and "The Practice;" movie appearances including 1988's "The Blob;" voice performances on radio and video games like "Final Fantasy XV;" and was captivating as a model.

Judith met Dennis Howard through their agent at the time and they were married in Galway, Ireland on May 30, 1986. After 3 years of marriage, they welcomed their daughter, Briana, and moved to Pine Mountain Club. There, they raised Briana alongside many dogs, cats, and horses, and enjoyed almost 25 years of hiking and horse riding in the mountains.

After a heroic battle with cancer, Judith passed away at home with her daugher, Briana, and son-in-law, Josh, at her side. She is preceded in death by her husband, Dennis Howard; her parents, W.C. and Lillian Flanagan; and her sisters, Charmain and Lenora. She is survived by her daughter, Briana Howard (Josh Hanna); brother, Carl Stewart (Kay) and children, Lindsay and Jason; sister, Elaine Cowan (David) and son, Michael; step-daughter, Wendy Bolte (Carl) and children, Jordan and Zach; step-brother, Tom (Jola) and children, Thaddeus, Shaun, and Erica; as well as many other beloved friends and extended family.
