Not sure what to say?

I worked with Joy for over 12 years and will always remember Joy as a caring, up-front and generous friend who was not afraid to say what was on her mind. And she was generally always right! Her love for her family was most important but she still found the time to make the nicknaks and incredible brownies, for which we all had many. Joy was a true professional with admirable work ethics; but I miss her laugh and friendship most. My condolences to her family, especially Neva, Melissa and...

I worked with Joy for 10 years. She was a close friend and I will truly miss her. Joy was a kind and giving person. She always thought of others whether it was making crafts or baking brownies she had a way of making you feel special. She was a true professional in every way and prided herself as such. If you wanted the job done right all you had to do was ask Joy she always did her best! It was my extreme pleasure to work with her and share in her life.

I worked with Joy only a few years, and that has been some years 8 ago now, but she's the kind of person one remembers. She was kind, generous and lively. I have a collection of homemade holiday nicknaks she made. Every year she made them for the entire staff; at Christmas we could all tell how long each of us had been working with Joy by how many nicknaks lined our desks/cubes/offices. She will be missed.

Joy was my sister in law and we will definately miss her. I wish we had been able to spend more time together. She was good to and good for my brother. I wish we could have been closer.

I met Joy when we were both freshmen in high school. We were in the same Spanish class. We instantly became friends. Our high school years were filled with many fun memories from going to movies, out to eat and traveling to California. Joy, our friend Margi and I were all together the night she met her husband Ed. Over the years we drifted, did not see each other often as our lives became busy with our families and work but we always remained friends. She was a kind and wonderful person...

Happy high school memories will stay with me forever. Joy and I went to Hawaii together when we were 20. It was quite an experience! It was always Joy, Lee and me at Legend City every chance we got! I'll never forget all our happy crazy times together, especially the drive-in movies! I only wish we had stayed closer in recent years. She will be missed very much. My condolences to her family. Love, Margi
