Sorry to hear about "Aunt" Joy......she helped keep me in line through the growing years. My thoughts and prayers are with ya'll. She was truely one of a kind teacher that I wish my children could have experienced. We still laugh at how she always caught us when we tried to cheat on her tests. She had a name that fit her......a true "Joy".

What a wonderful woman, mother, friend, and mentor! Teaching across the hall from JYK was a learning process as well as fun. I could always call on her for help. As we grew older and became friends I was fortunate enough to meet her family. She had a wonderful husband in Curtis and three wonderful children. To Curt, Kanette, and Kellye I want to say how lucky you were to have grown up with Joy as your mother. I know how much she loved each of you and how special you were to her. She will be missed by all lives touched by her. I feel blessed that she touched my life and I was able to call her my friend. God has a great teacher at his side now. I

"Joy", as we fondly called her, was a very sweet lady! She kept all of us boys in line during our high school days. She was a "cool" lady to all of our boyish pranks! I will certainly miss Mrs. Keough. She taught all of us how to have fun, learn our lessons and just how far to test our parents!
