Born in Lexington, Kentucky, to Robert B. and Ruth Morgan Asher, she was a
graduate of Vanderbilt University, majoring in English and Mathematics.
Following her graduation, Polly taught for two years at Margaret Hall Episcopal
Girls’ School in Versailles, Kentucky, before moving to Mississippi upon her
marriage to Tom Rosenblatt. Always an active participant in the life of her
community, she initially worked for the Wilkinson County Board of Supervisors.
Polly then taught English and Kindermusik at Wilkinson County Christian
Academy. For the past fifteen years, she served as Director of the
Woodville/Wilkinson County Main Street Association, in which role she obtained
numerous grants for community enhancement projects and organized the long-
running Woodville Deer and Wildlife Festival. Polly’s life’s greatest joy was being
an at-home mom to her three children. Raised in the Presbyterian Church, Polly
converted to Eastern Orthodox Christianity and was a faithful member of Christ
the Saviour Orthodox Church in McComb, Mississippi.

Predeceased by her parents, Polly is survived by Tom, her husband of forty-five
years; her three children, Lindsay Rosenblatt and wife, Lauren, and their children,
