Judi Jane Conway Patton is an American activist who focuses on women's safety and child abuse prevention. She served as the First Lady of Kentucky from December 12, 1995, until December 9, 2003, during the tenure of her husband, former Governor Paul E. Patton. Mrs. Patton is a native of Pike County, Kentucky, and one of four daughters born to the late Roy and Esta Conway. Her father was murdered while serving as sheriff of Pike County and her mother served the remainder of his term. After completing her husband?s term and an unsuccessful run for the office, Mrs. Conway served as a social worker in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky while rearing her four daughters: Anna Ruth, Colleen, Judi and Nanci Roy. The First Lady of Kentucky credits her mother?s lifelong work with women and children as her inspiration for the work to which she devotes her life to today.
