I Am Saddened To Report That Warren County Family Court Judge, Margaret Huddleston, Has Lost Her Battle With Breast Cancer. RIP.

Family Court Judge Margaret Huddleston loses battle with cancer

Longtime Warren Circuit Court Family Judge Margaret Huddleston, whose pioneering work on the bench included creating several initiatives to improve the living situations of at-risk children, died Friday after a battle with cancer.

Huddleston, 64, began her service as a family court judge in 1998, when she was appointed by then-Gov. Paul Patton. She became one of the earliest judges in the state to implement the family court program and the first female circuit judge in Warren County.

"Margaret has been recognized around Kentucky and around the country for her contributions to the development of the family court model," said Kentucky Chief Justice John Minton, of Bowling Green. "We're indebted to her for her leadership over the years ... . She was one of the people across the state that I would go to to provide guidance for how we should develop rules of practice."

Huddleston was among those who worked with Minton to develop uniform rules for Kentucky's family courts.
"Margaret was a substantial contributor to that, and the people of Warren County have lost a tremendous public servant," Minton said.
