June 25, 1945 ~ February 6, 2021
Judy Carole Norman High, 75, Glasgow, passed away Saturday, February 6, 2021 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. A native of Glasgow, she was a daughter of the late Joseph “Jodie” Norman and Alice Florene Smith Norman.
After graduation from Glasgow High School and Western Kentucky University, Judy spent her working career in the music field. She taught music in the Glasgow City Schools for 30 years which included general music at Liberty Street Elementary and South Green Elementary, along with being choir director at both Glasgow Middle School and Glasgow High School. She was a lifelong member of the First Christian Church, ranging from the time that she stood atop the communion table at age 5 to sing a solo to the time that she served as choir director for many years. After her retirement, she spent her time doing things for others as well as her family which included helping care for her grandsons, the apples of her eye.
Survivors include her husband of 45 years, Tommy G. High; one daughter, Susie High Lucas and husband Byron of Glasgow; one son, David Brents Norman High and his wife Bhavini of Lexington; four grandsons: Brighton Matthew Lucas, Micah Brents Lucas, David Anand Mody High, and Jaimin Mody High; two sisters: Betty Jo Smith of Indianapolis, IN, and Alice Susanne Norman of Glasgow; one nephew, Joseph Ray Smith and wife Ellen of Indianapolis; two nieces: Lisa Smith Croft and husband Ken of Indianapolis, and Katie Smith Lester and husband Trent of Lafayette, IN; three great-nephews and one great-niece.
A celebration of Judy’s life will be held 1:00 p.m. Tuesday at the First Christian Church with burial to follow in the Glasgow Municipal Cemetery. Visitation will be from 3 to 7 pm Monday at the Hatcher & Saddler Funeral Home and after 11 am Tuesday at the church.
Judy Carole Norman High was a child of God. We give thanks to God for His gift of a devoted daughter, caring sister, faithful wife, loving mother, and adoring Nanny. Hers was a life poured out for others, and we echo her heavenly Father in saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Lord.”
