Nena Joan "Jody" Maybury, 89, passed away unexpectedly in her home on Dec. 12, 2019.
Born on April 4, 1930 to Tobias and Julia Hattamer in Albany, Georgia, the family moved to
Eau Claire, Wisconsin when Jody was just an infant child. She was the eldest and the last
surviving member of four siblings, Dorothy (Polhamus), Mary Don (Svengard) and William
Hattamer. After graduating from high school in Eau Claire, she took the Civil Servants
exam, which landed her at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. It was there that she met her
husband of 63 years, Joseph "Joe" Maybury at a church dance in the Capitol. While she
waited for Joe to return from an Air Force assignment in Japan, she stayed in Washington.
Immediately after his return they married in Eau Claire among family and friends. From
there they started their lives together in Vienna, Virginia while Joe worked in private
practice in dentistry before returning to the Air Force. This was the start of a life of travel
as Joe was a career military man. Together they moved from Virginia back to Washington,
D.C, and many other places including Spain.
Jody and Joe had three daughters during their Air Force career. In all locations they were
stationed, she was always busy, raising her children and managing to keep active with the
wives of the Air Force and traveling on her own. In Cleveland, Ohio, where they settled after
Joe's retirement in 1976, she worked in Joe's dental office managing his business and
appointments. All the while, she and Joe continued to travel throughout the world, seeing
all the places that they wanted to, and returning many times to France. Once Joe officially retired from his private practice as a Periodontist, they settled in Hilton Head Island, and
later in Deland, Florida. Until her death, she loved golf, bridge, and spending time with
family. Jody remains loved by all the friends she made throughout her life's journeys and
by her family. She is survived by her husband, Joseph E. Maybury and her three daughters:
Mary Margaret Maybury of Cleveland, Ohio, Susan Elizabeth (James) Gutierrez of Akron,
Ohio, and Rebecca Ann (Robert) Bompiedi of Cleveland, Ohio. She is also survived by her
beloved grandchildren Jennifer (Matthew) Laughlin, Nicholas (Julie) DeVries, Alaina
Bompiedi, and Gina Bompiedi; and great grandchildren, Eva and Kyra Laughlin, and
Cameron DeVries along with many beloved nieces and nephews.
