Brona Faye Maddox, 84, of Jefferson City TN, died peacefully March 7th, 2018 at the Lifecare Center of Jefferson City. Mrs. Maddox was born in Rural Hall NC, October 18th 1933 to parents Edgar and Etta Mae Moorefield. After graduating from Rural Hall High School in 1951, she attended Furman University on a music scholarship. While at Furman, Brona was a member of the Furman Singers, performed in a number of theater productions, and was selected as Furman’s May Queen and Homecoming Queen. In her sophomore year, she met her future husband of 62 years, Jesse Cordell Maddox, who later became President of Carson-Newman University. Mrs. Maddox graduated in 1956 with a degree in music and theater. Brona and Cordell married the following year on March 30th 1957. While serving as First Lady of Carson-Newman, Mrs. Maddox taught music for many years at Jefferson City and Talbott Elementary schools. A gifted musician and singer, Brona was a long-time member of the Jefferson City First Baptist Church choir. Together Brona and Cordell had four children: Jesse Cordell Maddox Jr. (Donna), Michael Gary Maddox (Julie), William Brian Maddox (Erika), and Brona Gayle Beaudet (Bob). Brona was grandmother to twelve grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren (Ian, Jess, Whit, Chris, Brett, Caitlyn, Matt, Hunter, Will, Garland, Alec, Molly, Jackson and Henry).
