Judith Lynn Parkhurst was born on March 18, 1934, in Shelbyville, Indiana. Judith had two brothers, James born in 1941, and David born at Oak Ridge in 1947. Judith says she lived in Athens, Georgia for some of her childhood.
Judith’s father, Milton Parkhurst, worked at Oak Ridge, so she and her siblings spent a portion of their childhood living here.
Judith participated in many of the activities available to children growing up at Oak Ridge, and made friends in doing so. She was a member of the “Little Atoms Club,” and the Girl Scouts. She was active in church activities, such as Vacation Bible School. She also participated in the Children’s Theater of Oak Ridge.
