Judy Carol Polson, 80, Metcalfe County, KY Judy Carol Polson, age 80, passed away on September 28, 2026 at home surrounded by her family. She was born on December 9, 1945 in Little Barren, Kentucky to her beloved parents Frank and Margie South Jones. As an educator for nearly three decades in Metcalfe County, Kentucky she taught thousands of students, providing not only knowledge but a caring and empathetic place to which they could turn. One of her proudest moments was being honored by former students as a Metcalfe County Educator Idol in 2021. Judy was a longtime member, choir leader, and Sunday school teacher at Antioch Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Knob Lick, Kentucky. Both a talented pianist and vocalist, she felt great joy when expressing her Christian faith through music. Judy enjoyed sewing and crafting, watching westerns, and sitting at her kitchen window watching her "pet" squirrels scamper in the back yard. She loved Estee Lauder "Youth Dew" perfume, statement earrings, and turquoise jewelry. In her youth she was an exceptional softball player and it was on the playing field where she met her husband Freddie Polson, who survives. Married on July 1st, 1966, they were together, side by side, for 60 years. She was a wonderful and loving mother to sons, Shane (Dana) Polson and Casey Polson and daughter, Summer Polson. She is survived by sister, O-Jean Atwell, brother, Freddie Jones, brother-in-law, Jerry Polson, several nieces and nephews, and a host of other family and friends. Along with her parents she was proceeded in death by brother Robbie Jones. In the last year of her life she was assisted by caregiver Neysa Howard. When teaching, Judy ended each week by reminding students of her motto for living. As you think of her, remember her advice to keep it "Safe, Sober, and Moral". In lieu of flowers please donate to the Metcalfe County Retired Teachers Association Scholarship Fund or a charity of your choice. Funeral Service for Judy will be held 12noonCT Friday, October 2nd, 2026, at Butler Funeral Home with burial in the Metcalfe County Memorial Gardens. Visitation will begin Friday at 8:30 until time for the service. This story was posted on 2026-10-01 08:21:31
