Joy Stevenson was a Baha'i of Jewish background


Marion "Joy" Stevenson (March 17, 1919 - April 25, 2016) was a Counsellor member of the International Teaching Centre for ten years from May 19, 1988 to 1998. She served on the National Spiritual Assembly of Australia, and as a Continental Counsellor for Australasia - appointed in 1983 - and an Auxiliary Board member in Australasia. She passed away in Queanbeyan, Australia on 25 April 2016. When she died the Universal House of Justice requested that Baha'i communities around the world convene "commemorative gatherings in her honour." In 1985 she was a Trustee of the Continental Fund and one of nineteen Continental Counselors for Asia.
