Ms. Petty passed away on Saturday, November 19, 2011 in Fort Worth. She was born to John Walter and Johnnie Magnolia Johnson Maddox on September 3, 1929 in Selma, Alabama. Joan was a member of Emmanuel Seventh-day Adventist Church in Cleburne and attended Keene Seventh-day Adventist Church often as well. She retired after 30 years service as the SW Regional Director of the SDA Christian Record Services. Joan was dedicated to her job and committed to the blind and hearing impaired of whom she served. She spent countless hours raising funds for the blind camps and many other services for them. She continually put the needs of others above her own.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and a brother, John Maddox.
