Jerry Lee Shoulders, 85 of Shepherdsville, Kentucky passed peacefully on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at Baptist Hospital of Louisville. Jerry retired as a truck driver from ANR Freight System and was a devoted member of the Fraternal Order of Masons of Aurora Lodge No. 633 for 63 years. He was a faithful servant of Parkland Baptist Church since 1972 where he truly loved teaching his brothers in Sunday School.
Jerry was married to the love of his life, Judy, for 62 years. Together they made memories through raising a family, traveling, and cheering on their favorite teams: the Cincinnati Reds and University of Kentucky Wildcats Basketball. Jerry's love of the outdoors led him to golfing and his true passion for quail hunting. Jerry was a devoted family man, but his greatest joy was being the best Papaw to his grandbabies.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Judy, father James, mother Flossie, brother Robert, and sisters Doris and Barbara.
Jerry lovingly leaves behind two children: Jonathan Shoulders (Kimberly), Jamie Howell (Greg), five adoring grandchildren: Michael Shoulders (Luisa), Kara Neikirk (Phillip), Lauren Fischer (Kyle), Adam Howell (Jody), Abbie Smith (Brandon) and 11 Great-Grandchildren. Along with a host of nieces, nephews and other dear family and friends.
