The Jackson County Herald-Tribune has a new addition to the staff, Deidra Whitley, who is the new advertising sales representative. Most people might know her from her volunteer work as treasurer with the JC Youth Fair or Edna Lions Club, where she’s held a number of offices for many years. You may also know her fundraising work with the Morales Community Center, or helping out with the JC Chamber of Commerce.
Born in Victoria to Donald and Robbie Whitley, one might know her parents as well.
“My dad is from here, my grandparents are from here, and my mom coached at Edna High School, she coached the state championship team in basketball during the 1964-65 school year,” Whitley said. “Her picture is in the trophy case at the new gym.”
