Police said they found a white Toyota Yaris near Aquila Rise, which comes to a dead end.
The bodies of the two women were found about one kilometre from their car.
"The exact circumstances of their deaths are yet to be determined," Victoria Police spokeswoman Natalie Webster said.
Neither of the deaths are being treated as suspicious. Police do not believe there was foul play.
Tatong Tavern owner Chris McCabe said the township was upset at hearing the terrible outcome.
"It's a tragic thing and everybody is disappointed and sad," he said.
The pair lived separately, with Isabel residing in an independent living unit at Cooinda Village aged care home.
She has two other daughters, Helen Stephens and Barbara Walter.
Judy had an intellectual disability and was insulin dependent.
