On May 8th, 2026, Paul Johnson, Jr of Campbellsville, Kentucky passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by family and friends. He was alarmingly close to 90 years old, missing his birthday by only 9 days.
Paul was a graduate of Campbellsville High School Class of 1953, and obtained a degree in Agriculture from the University of Kentucky. While attending classes in Lexington, he became involved in the Presbyterian Student Fellowship and met the love of his life, Joan Shear.
After college, Paul served in the army as an infantry officer with the 100th Division in Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas, and often used his weekend leave to drive from Arkansas to see Joan at her home in New York. All those miles on the road paid off, and they married in 1962, beginning a life-long partnership that lasted 58 years.
Paul taught school at Taylor County High while also farming, developing subdivisions, and building houses. He was part owner of Buckhorn Block Company. In 1986 he joined the Campbellsville Water Company until his retirement in 1998, after which he and Joan traveled extensively covering many parts of the globe. Paul found a way to combine his love of travel with his knowledge of engineering and water through Living Waters of the World, a non-profit that builds sustainable water purification systems for rural communities. He and Joan participated in multiple installations of these systems in small towns across Mexico.
As much as he enjoyed seeing the world, Paul’s heart and passion remained in his beloved hometown. He was an active member of Bethel First Presbyterian Church serving at the local, state, and national level. He spent many years with the Lions Club including multiple terms as local chapter president, and served on the Brookside Cemetery board.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Paul Johnson, Sr, and Brooksie Davenport Johnson, and his devoted wife, Joan Shear Johnson. He is survived by his children Joey Johnson of Springfield, Kentucky, and Emily Johnson Baskin (Jim) of Durango, Colorado, as well as many treasured nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Audrey Mae Robison, of Campbellsville, daughter of the late Chester Herron and the late Hettie Cox Herron Miller and Conda Miller was born August 15, 1953 in Jefferson County, Kentucky. She died at 7:26 A.M., Saturday May 2, 2026 in Lexington. Age: 72
Audrey professed faith in Christ and was a member of Palestine Baptist Church.
She was a former employee of Fruit of the Loom and Taylor County Detention Center. Working at the detention center was probably the most impactful thing she ever did by giving her purpose and cementing her faith through helping others become better versions of themselves.
She united in marriage to the love of her life, Richard (Ricky) Robison. He preceded her in death June 9, 2016 taking a part of her soul with him.
Audrey is survived by one son, Roger Blankenship and two grandsons: Isaac Blankenship and Brody Blankenship, whom she loved unconditionally; three brothers, Arvin (Bubby) Herron, Lester Herron, and Van Herron. She has nine nieces and nephews, two of whom, Delitha Shreve and Robert Kearney, were more akin to siblings than niece and nephew.
Audrey will be remembered as a fierce woman. Sometimes that fierceness flared in the form of the infamous “Herron Temper” and other times radiated a love that was immensely deep and boundless.
She was also preceded in death by two sisters: Beulah Thomas, and Francis Graybeal.
