Sergeant First Class Jack John Arlin Maywood, Retired, 85, of Granbury, Texas, passed November 1, 2018. A military veteran, Jack served his country during the Korean War and completed two tours in Vietnam to support US military efforts.

He served as a Avionics Equipment Maintenance Mechanic/Supervisor in the United States Army for 29 years. During his service, Jack earned numerous medals including the Bronze Star Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, Air Medal and Meritorious Service Medal.

Jack was born to John Joseph Maywood and Edna Eicke, on November 24, 1932, in Pasadena, California.

In 1957, Jack joined the Armed Forces and was assigned to the United States Army base camp in Fort Ord, California. His tours of duty included: Nike Missile sites in California; Ft. Bliss, El Paso, Texas; Vietnam (2); Thule, Greenland; W. Ft. Hood, Texas; and Ft. Wainwright, Alaska (2).

Following his retirement from the military in 1978, Jack worked for and retired from the Federal Aviation Administration in Fairbanks, Alaska, after 16 years; 13 of those years he worked a rotational schedule of two weeks on in Barrow, Alaska, and two weeks off at home in Fairbanks.

Jack eloped with his sweetheart, Vonda Glea Trueblood, to Raton, New Mexico, where they were married on October 17, 1953, and “celebrated” their 65th wedding anniversary from Jack’s hospital room in the ICU. 

Together Jack and Vonda raised five beautiful children. 

In 1994, Jack and Vonda retired to the “perfect” golf course community in Florence, Oregon, where they were very active and made many friends. Their years in Florence were filled with golf games and tournaments, beach walks, park hikes, and discovering new towns searching for the perfect “Sunday” breakfast spot. 

In 2017, they relocated to Granbury, Texas, to be closer to two of their kids and to give Vonda some much-deserved warmth. They found the “perfect” lake front cottage where they enjoyed many sunrises (but very few sunsets) together on the patio of their Lakestone cottage. Jack believed morning was the “perfect” time of day and was up every morning at 5:00am and usually in bed before sunset. Jack was touched when he received a Lakestone Veteran Recognition.

He is survived by his precious wife, Vonda, son, Kenny Maywood (Beth), and four daughters, Kelli Wright (Lonnie), Kristi DiCostanzo (Carmine), Karen Sundborg (Jim), and Keryl Porter (Erik Munson), and his sister, Bonnie Lofton. He also leaves to cherish his memory eight grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.

His children remember him as a loving, encouraging father who celebrated all of their successes and as an adventure seeker who enriched all of their lives. Jack’s Florence friends fondly remember him cruising around the golf course in his orange OSU golf cart with his faithful rescue pup, Heidi, by his side.

He was preceded in death by his father, John, his mother, Edna, and sister, Patricia Washburn.

Jack was interred with the military honors due to him at the DFW National Cemetery on November 15, 2018.

Bobbye Ruth Draper Petty was born at Midway just south of Tahoka in the farmhouse near the railroad tracks on September 29, 1936, to Howard & Ruth Vick Draper.

Not long after Bobbye enrolled at Abilene Christian College, a handsome young cowboy from San Angelo changed the course of her life and paved the way for her life’s passion – the role of Christian wife, mother, grandmother and Godly servant.

Bobbye is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, James Alfred Petty, her brothers, Bill Draper, Bland Draper, Robert Draper & Johnny Draper, and her baby sister Margaret.

Bobbye’s cousin Mariana Long says, “One of my favorite stories was about a new preacher who was trying to visit all the “sick and afflicted.”  Every place he went, they would mention that Bobbye had just been there – usually with a loaf of fresh bread.  “Is there more than one Bobbye Petty in Abilene?  I cannot go anyplace where she has not already been there ahead of me!” It didn’t take long for him to know there was only one – but that she was using her ability and love for people to encourage those who needed encouraging.  Bobbye was always an encourager – with words, actions, food, and extra dollar or two, or just by being there!”

Friend Jozell Brister says, “A few months after my Mother’s death, I was sitting in my office at ACU feeling very sad and depressed.  I was still grieving for my Mother and nothing seemed to lift my spirits.  Then I looked up and standing at my office door was Bobbye Petty.  She came in and handed me a home-baked chocolate cream pie, my favorite.  I asked her to sit down, and she did.  We visited a bit, and then speaking about my Mother’s struggle with cancer and her passing, Bobbye said, “I imagine that is all still pretty raw.”  That was just the right thing to say.  It was still very raw, but Bobbye was the only one to acknowledge that I might still be grieving.  In her kind and gentle voice she let me know that she understood what I was feeling.  With the straightforward, no-nonsense way she had about her, she comforted me like no one else had been able to do.  After Bobbye left my office that day, I realized that I was feeling better, actually, much better.  Another time Bobbye came to my office and brought me a big bowl of watermelon.  She was the friend I needed, and she lifted my spirits every time I saw her.  There was a peace and calm about her that, I believe, came from God; and when she was with me, I felt her goodness and kindness.  Then, for a time, the world looked and felt better.”

Those entrusted with carrying on her legacy are her daughter and son-in-law, Menielle & Tommy Donahoo, granddaughter and grandson-in-law, Cori & William Moore, sister & brother-in-law, Mary & Don Fleming, brother-in-law & sister-in-law, Bill & Donna Petty, many beloved nieces & nephews and a host of friends.

A memorial service will be held Wednesday, December 5, 2018 at the Granbury Church of Christ at 9:30am; followed by a graveside service at 3:30pm at Elliott-Hamil Garden of Memories Cemetery in Abilene under the direction of The Hamil Family Funeral Home, 6449 Buffalo Gap Road, Abilene.

In memory of Bobbye, the family requests that any donations be made to support the James & Bobbye Petty Scholarship Endowment at Abilene Christian University (ACU Box 29132, Abilene, TX 79699 or online at acu.edu/giveonline).
