Joy will be remembered by all who had the opportunity to know her.
She touched many lives in a possitive way.
We were very fortunate to have had the pleasure of living next door to the Niemann family on Valley Ave; for so many years.
Thank you for being the best friend to Mom! We will all miss you.

Bob, Randy, Vickie and families;
Losing Joy, my special "sister" and friend for so many years has been extremely hard to bear. I will miss going to lunch, our long phone conversations, all the good and bad that we have shared, the laughter and the tears.
I am so grateful that I was able to be with Joy nearly to the end. It was a special time to just be able to sit with her. She kept saying she was so lucky to have such a special family and the extra time she was granted.

My thoughts are with the Niemann and Benoit families. Joy was truly a fighter in her battle with cancer. I will always think of her when all the painted decorations come out at Christmas. She brightened our neighborhood. May all your memories bring the family comfort.

I was saddened to hear of Joy's passing and took a moment to reflect back on the years we spent living across from the Neiman family on Valley Ave...I will never forget the Nieman household. Joy always made us feel welcome and I have vivid memories of the wonderful wood crafts, particularly the "fisherman reeling in the big fish" bookends and the coffee table with the beautiful blue stream. You were never at a loss for things to explore at the Nieman's property. We were lucky to have spent a...

Dear Sweet Auntie Joy; From the time you and Mom cared for me while Dad was away overseas, you have always been there as a great Aunt Joy. I am so glad to have seen you lately, and so saddened for your family. It is always hardest on those of us left behind. Say Hi to Mom and Dad and Pete. I love you, Joanne McKnight Comstock

Gramma Niemann- When I said I do to your grandson I was a lucky woman. Not only because I married an amazing man but because I got another wonderful gramma. You have been such an important part of my life and I love you. Thank you for all your love and smiles. I miss you!
