Dr. Ronald Glenn Shrewsbury

Dr. Ronald Glenn Shrewsbury, 66, of Bardstown, Kentucky, passed away on Sunday, March 22, 2026. He is survived by his beloved wife of many years, Jennifer Hamilton Shrewsbury; his two brothers Richard (Lori) Shrewsbury and Mike (Nancy) Shrewsbury; His three children, Dr. John Lawson (Sarah) Shrewsbury, Dr. Lucas "Luke" Hays (Celeste) Shrewsbury, and Mary Haley (Matthew) Harris; His three grandchildren, Finnley Shrewsbury, Rowan Shrewsbury, and Elijah Harris; and a host of extended family and friends who were touched by his quiet strength and generous spirit. 

Ron was born in Campbellsville, KY to the late Richard Paul (Coach) Shrewsbury and Mary Frances Westmorland. He grew up in LaGrange, Georgia before attending Jacksonville State University. He then went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in 1985 where he graduated with honors.

Following his Graduation, Dr. Shrewsbury moved to Bardstown and began his dental career practicing alongside Dr. John Oakley. Through time the practice evolved into Shrewsbury, Claywell & Oliver Dentistry, P.S.C. (formerly Shrewsbury & Associates and Oakley and Shrewsbury, P.S.C.). For over four decades, he provided compassionate, talented, and dedicated care to generations of families in Bardstown, the Nelson county community and beyond.

Aside from dentistry, Ron found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He loved spending time with his dog Julep, playing golf, fishing, hunting, reading, and traveling whenever he could. Ron was a student of life and always sought to learn.

Above all, his faith guided him, and he was known for his kind heart, gentle spirit, and unwavering devotion to his family.

Ron’s legacy lives on in the smiles he created, the lives he touched, and the love he shared so freely. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
