Former Circuit Judge Clarence Allen “Woody” Woodall to Receive 9th Annual Edward H. Johnstone Award on November 18, 2025

FRANKFORT, Ky. – The Kentucky Bar Foundation (KBF) is proud to announce that former Circuit Judge Clarence Allen “Woody” Woodall, III, will be honored with the 9th Annual Edward H. Johnstone Award on Tuesday, November 18, 2025. The event will be held at Walker Hall Event Center, 229 Madison Street Paducah, KY 42001, with cocktails at 5:00 p.m. and dinner at 6:00 p.m.

The Edward H. Johnstone Award recognizes Kentucky attorneys and judges who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to the legal profession and community service. Judge Woodall exemplifies the spirit of this award through his decades of service as a lawyer, judge, mediator, and civic leader.

Woodall served as Circuit Judge of the 56th Judicial Circuit, covering Caldwell, Livingston, Lyon, and Trigg counties, from January 2007 until his retirement in February 2022. Prior to his judgeship, he practiced law in Kentucky for nearly 30 years, having graduated from the University of Kentucky College of Law in 1974. He also holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Kentucky.

Throughout his career, Judge Woodall was deeply engaged in the legal community. He served in roles with the American Bar Association, the Kentucky Bar Association (member of the Board of Governors from 1st Supreme Court District for 6 years), the Kentucky Counsel of School Board Attorneys (past President), Kentucky Defense Counsel, Inc., and numerous mediation and arbitration associations. He was widely respected for his nearly 20 years of service as a mediator and arbitrator before taking the bench.

In addition to his professional contributions, Judge Woodall has been a dedicated community leader. He was an active member of the Cadiz Rotary Club for over 25 years, serving as both Board member and President, and was also past President of the Cadiz-Trigg County Chamber of Commerce. His civic service extended to the Cadiz-Trigg County Tourist Commission, Troop 57 Boy Scouts, and the Trigg County UK Alumni Association. He is a parishioner of St. Stephens Catholic Church in Cadiz.

Judge Woodall and his wife, Teresa McAtee Woodall, a retired teacher from Caldwell County Primary School, are proud parents and grandparents. Together they have five grown children, ten grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

The evening will celebrate Judge Woodall’s distinguished career while also supporting the Kentucky Bar Foundation’s mission to strengthen justice and promote access to the legal system. Proceeds from the dinner will benefit law-related nonprofits across the state, including organizations that support children, families, and vulnerable populations.

The deadline to purchase tickets and sponsorships is Monday, November 3, 2025. For details on the November 18 event and to purchase tickets or sponsorships, visit Eventbrite or contact KBF Executive Director Susan Duncan at [email protected].

IN LOVING MEMORY

Bro. Ronnie Fox, a devoted servant of God, passed away peacefully on August 23, 2025, at the age of 68 in Eddyville, KY. Born on October 14, 1956, in Lamasco, KY, he was a man whose life was a testament to his unwavering faith and the love he had for his family and friends.

Ronnie dedicated 25 years of his life ministering to the congregation of Crider Baptist Church and continued to spread the word of God as the assistant minister at Eddyville Second Baptist Church. His commitment to his faith was evident in every aspect of his life. During his calling to ministry, he served his community as a compassionate Funeral Director at Morgan's Funeral Home, a role in which he provided comfort to many during their times of loss.

A man of many interests, Ronnie enjoyed fishing, being in God's nature, and cherished the moments he spent on vacation in Gatlinburg. His hobbies of collecting coins and stamps were more than pastimes; they were extensions of his love for history and the stories they represented.

Ronnie was a proud alumnus of Mid Continent University, where he earned his Bachelor's Degree. His education further fueled his passion for helping others and led him to a life of service and ministry that touched countless lives.

Brother Ronnie Fox will be remembered as a faith-filled and friendly individual whose presence brought comfort and joy to those around him. His life was a living example of Christian values and the power of kindness. As we bid farewell to this extraordinary man, we celebrate the profound impact he made on his family, his church, and his community. Ronnie's spirit will forever be a guiding light for all who were blessed to know him.

He is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Mayrene Thompson Fox, and his cherished daughter, Hannah Fox of Princeton. His legacy continues through his brothers, Billy (Faye) Fox and Deon (Sue Gail) Fox, both of Cadiz, and his adored grandchildren, Shayden Stallins, Mayetta Stallins, and Sullivyn Cox, all of Princeton. Ronnie's memory will also be treasured by his several nieces and nephews; brother-in-law, Franklin Kilgore of Paducah.

Ronnie was preceded in death by his parents, J.C. and Geneva Hall Fox, his sisters, Dathel Kilgore and Martha Sue Fox, and his brother, Don Fox. They have now welcomed him into the heavenly kingdom with open arms.

Visitation for Bro. Ronnie will be held from 10:00 am until 1:00 pm Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at Morgan's Funeral Home.

Funeral services will be held at 1:00 pm Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at Morgan's Funeral Home with Bro. Mac Walls and Bro. Dean Ray officiating. Burial will follow in Blue Spring Church Cemetery.

Expressions of sympathy may be made to Operation Christmas Child, PO Box 3000, Boone, NC 28607.
