Joy Scism, 69, passed away on October 7, 2025, in Delmar, New York. Born on June 20, 1956, in Poughkeepsie, New York, Joy lived a life rich with creativity, compassion, and connection to the natural world.
A devoted mother and cherished friend, Joy is survived by her daughter, Juliet Becker, and her beloved cat, Frankie. Her caring nature and thoughtful presence left a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to know her. With a sharp sense of humor and an insightful mind, she brought laughter and warmth into every room she entered.
Joy had a deep love for animals and nature. She found joy in expressing herself through drawing and writing. These creative outlets were not only hobbies but reflections of her vibrant inner world.
Her spiritual life was deeply rooted in her connection with Earth and the Spirit world. This bond guided her path and brought her peace throughout her journey. In passing, her spirit is now free—at home in the Southwest landscapes that always called to her soul.
May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her.
