Mrs. Judy M. Maddux's Obituary
Judy Joyner Maddux, October 24, 1934 - January 28, 2020. Judy is survived by her husband of 66 years, Drew R. Maddux Sr. Drew saw Judy in the bleachers at the Isaac Litton High School gym when she was 13, and he’s been smitten ever since.
She is survived by her daughter Lee Ann (Roger) Batey, grandchildren Brooke (Dave) Gilliam, Parker (Bonnie) Batey, Sloane Maddux, Lila (Charlie) Logsdon, and eight great grandchildren; Owen Gilliam, Jack Batey, Ansley Batey, Garrett Gilliam, Ford Logsdon, Benton Batey, Landry Logsdon and Lena Logsdon -who she loved and spoiled like it was her job.
She is preceded in death by parents Ed Joyner and Vivian Waller Joyner, brother Ned Joyner, sister Ann Joyner Husband, son Drew R. ‘Ric’ Maddux Jr., and granddaughter Ansley Ford Batey.
Judy worked as a volunteer and took all the grandchildren to thirteen Fellowship of Christian Athletes camps around the country. She was an animal lover, particularly of tiny poodles and powerful Thoroughbred racehorses. She chose Jan Verzal, the winningest racehorse she and Drew ever owned. Judy loved being on the water, treasured her home on Old Hickory Lake, and brought it to life with flowers for 56 years. Friends and family made her light up. When Judy walked into a room people were drawn to her, and she charmed everyone, young and old.
