Association of Former Judges for March of Dimes

Every judge serving in the Kentucky Court of Justice for the past four decades owes a debt of gratitude to Donna Stockton Early. Donna worked incessantly to protect the Judicial Form Retirement Fund; she monitored our eligibility for health insurance and other benefits, and made sure no one missed important deadlines. She did the same for the surviving spouses and beneficiaries of deceased judges. We were all shocked when Donna suddenly died from a severe stroke in 2020.

Few of us knew that Donna was stricken by polio as a small child. She credited the March of Dimes for saving her life through its work in promoting the polio vaccine, and developing therapies for victims. Donna was a lifetime supporter of the March of Dimes for its continuing work on infant and childhood disease.

As members of the Association of Former Judges of the Kentucky Court of Justice, our tribute to Donna is to make a contribution to the March of Dimes on her behalf, and in her honor. Please join us. Show your appreciation to Donna by making your contribution now in one of three ways: mail a check, payable to March of Dimes, to March of Dimes, DIY Fundraising, PO Box 260110, Atlanta, GA 31126; give by check or cash at our August 27th Association meeting; or contribute by credit or debit card on the GoFundMe page.
