Personality
Judith was adventurous and playful. She "thought life was a party" and regularly planned picnics and camping trips. She would take Jonny on "adventures" and have fun; they played pirates, and she called him "Captain Jack" and played his first mate. She was also playful with Benton, and while she encouraged his work she also got him to not take himself so seriously. Benton describes her as "always laughing".

History
Judith Waterston was a debutante of the Boston Waterston family. Her family didn't appreciate her marriage with Benton. She didn't flaunt her family's wealth. For their one year anniversary, Benton gave her a watch, and she got him an entire lab, which was the first time when he really realized how wealthy she was. They later had a son, Jonny Quest.

While Benton was working, they traveled a lot. Jonny didn't have friends his own age, and he later described his mother as his best friend.

Judith later became ill and was hospitalized while the family was in Paris. At this time, Race was assigned, and he first met the Quests in the hospital. The next day, Judith slipped deeper into a coma and died.
