She spent the rest of her life in Long Beach doing various jobs such as working for GTE, Amtrak stewardess, and toll road operator. She always made everyone laugh with her silly jokes and songs. She loved gambling and playing the lottery. Most of all she loved spending time with Ava and Jaxon. Joey had many friends and extended family who loved her always but especially through the last 7 months. She fought fiercely to overcome stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Sadly she lost the battle after months of surgery, chemo, and radiation.
