Joann (Richerson) McWhorter was born on August 16, 1932 in Wheeler, Texas, to the late Mr. Cecil William Richerson, Sr., and Hazel Bessie Richerson. She married Delbert McWhorter, Sr. on December 5, 1953. He preceded her in death on June 25, 1976.

Joann was a homemaker and helped manage McWhorter Service and Supply, a grain elevator and trucking company. She sold the business in 1977, and moved to Amarillo, TX. She worked as a bookkeeper for Heath Furniture, and then, for Center City Furniture, until her retirement. Joann loved her family more than anything. She would drive anywhere to watch her kids participate in whatever they were doing while growing up. She loved sports, working word puzzles, and dancing. She was a Dallas Cowboy and Texas Ranger fan, but most of all, loved any sport the Texas Longhorns were playing. She was baptized in the First Baptist Church of Wheeler, Texas, and was an active member until moving to Amarillo. She then attended Trinity Fellowship.
