Joy Rose Murphy from Choctaw, OK was crowned Mrs. Oklahoma 2012. Mrs. Murphy is a Chickasaw citizen who began training for the competition after the birth of her child. As the reigning Mrs. Oklahoma, she says she will work tirelessly to provide for the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Foundation (PDJF.) This cause is close to her heart because as the wife of a jockey, she understands the devastating impact of serious injuries in her husband's profession.
