We are sad to share the loss of retired member attorney Ann D. Sturgill, who passed away on December 15 in Lexington. As one of the first women to be named partner in a Lexington law firm, Ann was known for her leadership and encouragement of women attorneys in Fayette County and the Commonwealth. She joined Sturgill Turner in 1976, and practiced in equine law and real estate, environmental law, and estate planning alongside her husband and firm co-founder, Don S. Sturgill. Hers is a true loss for our firm and for the Kentucky legal community. https://lnkd.in/e6yeGJSN
